While receiving my OCD training, I witnessed firsthand the life-saving impact of Exposure and Response Prevention treatment. Yet, I also noticed a significant lack of access to ERP-trained therapists. I felt both compelled and inspired to specialize in ERP.
Here are additional benefits to becoming an ERP specialist:
-ERP is a highly effective and successful treatment for OCD, which makes being an ERP specialist super rewarding!
-ERP is an interactive, dynamic, and customizable therapy that can be adapted to each client's unique needs and themes.
-ERP is a specialty that you can add to your existing modalities. It doesn't require you to let go of your present specialties or current clients. Rather, it allows you to expand your services and clientele.
--ERP also translates to other mental health conditions including generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, phobias and more. So, you'll also be adding to your toolkit of effective therapies for other specialities!
-There are not enough ERP specialists. Hence, becoming an ERP specialist means you'll be providing care to people who otherwise might not have access.
-ERP empowers your clients to take control of their OCD recovery by equipping them with practical, tangible skills. Eventually, they're able to conduct ERP on their own.
