I'm new to ERP
I'm still new to this whole ERP stuff so I was wondering how frequently or how long I should do each exercise? Does anyone have a recommended suggestion?

Hi there! The goal generally with exposures is to decrease your anxiety by half - and that can take a range of time of course, depending on the exposure and your ability to resist compulsions. ERP is highly recommended, and is best to be working with a specialist - have you ever worked with a therapist before?

I have not worked with a therapist on an issue like this unfortunately, I'm still very new to this whole new form of therapy. I was just hoping to learn some tips going into this.

What is ERP?
Can I hear some examples of specific parts of ERP that has helped you? I've been doing talk therapy for a few years and the major issue I have with it is that I already have analyzed all of my problems from every angle, so I'm kind of just sitting there yapping about it for an hour. I need solutions and things that make me feel better.

Professional advice or experience? Tnx ❤️
How long should I do ERP, so that my brain gets used to it, not to say tired?! I've been working for about three months, but everything still seems vivid in my head, there are even vulgar words in detail... since the sexual topic is both a groinal and a feeling that I want to touch myself. It's mostly related to faces and genitals, so how exactly can that go, if it's emphasized that sex pictures in themselves give that feeling, whoever is in them?

Hello everyone
I’m finding this a great app. Is there any recommendation for how often it should be visited? Like not asking for a specific amount of time or whatever, I just find that maybe I shouldn’t always be reading stuff on the topic? Anyone have a balance they recommend?
