Stop Obsessing: Creative Ways to Apply Exposure and Response Prevention Techniques for OCD

Do you ever struggle with managing obsessive or intrusive thoughts?

Are you plagued with constant self doubt and 'what if' scenarios that feel difficult to control?

Do these intrusive thoughts cause you high anxiety and make you feel out of control in how you respond?

Or perhaps you've been diagnosed with OCD in the past and tried a course of Exposure and Response Prevention therapy but struggled to put the ideas and techniques into practice. Maybe you've struggled to keep up with using ERP consistently in day to day life. Or maybe you never quite understood how ERP works, particularly when you have purely 'obsessional' OCD and/or mental compulsions that follow.

As a licensed clinical psychologist specialising in treatment of OCD and anxiety disorders, I've worked with thousands of clients in my therapy room just like you. Many of them have come to see me after trying therapy in the past, with varying success rates. In our sessions, I draw on the power of metaphors and every day examples to break down clinical terms and concepts into easy to understand, actionable ways to implement ERP. In fact, my clients often tell me how helpful these metaphors and analogies are in assisting them to understand what ERP is, and how they can actually put it into practice.

I've finally had the time to put together a short guide on one ERP technique- Non Engagement Responses. Designed especially for those with prior experience of ERP, this guide serves as a helpful and creative resource to help you stop obsessing and start living.

In this pdf guide, you will get:

• A definition of what a Non Engagement Response is in ERP, and how they can be useful to countering intrusive thoughts

• Done for you general examples of NERs that can be applicable across various types of intrusive thoughts

• Two creative metaphors that will help make it easy for you to understand how OCD gains power over your thinking and how you can apply NERs in your day to day life

• Reflection questions at the end to help you personalise the strategies to suit you, so that you can come away feeling more empowered in how to manage your OCD
