Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can feel overwhelming, with persistent intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors. At Psych Lounge, we offer Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), a gold-standard CBT technique proven to reduce OCD symptoms.
How ERP Helps OCD
ERP gradually exposes you to feared thoughts or situations while preventing compulsive responses. Over time, this reduces anxiety and breaks the cycle of obsession and compulsion. In therapy, you will:
- Face triggers in a controlled, supportive setting
- Learn to tolerate discomfort without performing rituals
- Develop healthier coping strategies for intrusive thoughts
Who Can Benefit?
ERP is ideal for individuals experiencing:
- Obsessive thoughts (contamination, harm, checking, order)
- Compulsive behaviors (washing, checking, counting, rituals)
- Anxiety driven by intrusive thoughts
Why Psych Lounge?
Our Islamabad therapists are trained in ERP and tailor sessions to your specific triggers. With guidance and consistent practice, you can regain control and reduce OCD’s impact on your life.
