ERP can be extremely helpful in managing OCD. Personally for me it's not what has helped me the most. My antidepressants, that I discussed with my doctor, helped the most.

Are you afraid of doing ERP or have you tried without progress? There are a lot of options, ACT, DBT, trauma therapy, mindfulness, ICBT, MCT - but in someway you have to expose yourself to the thibgs you fear.

@Anonymous I doubt that you have tried all the options I mentioned above...ACT and mindfulness for ecample can help you through the exposures.

I have recently learned about the idea of Mastery from Richard Gallagher for disgust OCD. It is a very ACT based idea. It makes a lot of sense to me in regards to my son's disgust OCD
