9 Essential Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Techniques

Exposure and Response Prevention

This useful technique is commonly used for those dealing with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, OCD. However, you can also enjoy its incredible benefits by practice this technique. The first step is exposing yourself to that thing that causes a compulsive behavior to manifest. The next step requires you to do all everything possible not to respond and write down all about it. Most therapists advised that you combine journaling with this practice, or utilize journaling to help unravel how you feel about the exposure and prevention technique. [4]
