7. Is ERP the Same As CBT?

ERP therapy is a form of cognitive-behavioral therapy, but that does not mean that every CBT therapy is effective at treating OCD. Using methods of CBT that do not directly relate to curbing the obsessions and compulsions can be counterproductive.

The best thing an OCD patient can do is discuss treatment options with a licensed therapist, preferably the diagnosing doctor. Any CBT treatment plan should include exposure and response therapy for the best results.
