Exposure & Response Prevention Therapy FOR OCD in south carolina
Feel more in control of your mind & present in your life.
Living with OCD can feel exhausting—your mind stuck on intrusive thoughts, your time eaten up by checking, ruminating, or seeking reassurance.
Intrusive thoughts can be incredibly "sticky" and cause so much distress when you experience them. The problem is, you may be doing the exact opposite of what works by trying as hard as you can to ignore, avoid or force the thoughts to go away. Or maybe even counting, checking, ruminating or repeatedly asking loved ones to tell you it's all going to be okay.
In Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy (ERP), we take it step by step, gently facing fears and learning how to resist compulsions.
ERP starts with a lot of education and information about obsessional doubt and how the brain loves to imagine the worst case scenario is happening.
Once you understand how feeling different requires doing things differently, we will get to work identifying how to retrain your brain to stop sounding the fire alarm when there's no smoke.
You can expect to start seeing your intrusive thoughts for what they are—just thoughts, not reflections of your character or worth.
Together, we’ll identify the parts of your life you want to reclaim from OCD—whether that’s living with less fear, making decisions without endless second-guessing, or finally feeling at peace in the present moment. ERP gives you the tools to quiet OCD’s grip and move toward the life you want to live.
You’re ready for things to feel different—and I’m here to help you get there.
Let’s talk about what’s been holding you back and how we can break the cycle of anxiety together. Book your free consultation today—so you can start feeling lighter, calmer, and more like yourself again.
