Hi- (5-27-08)
SEVERAL MONTHS AGO I CAME ACROSS A BOOK AT THE LIBRARY WHICH
EXPLAINED A TREATMENT METHOD FOR OCD CALLED ERPA. BASICALLY, WHAT THE PERSON WITH OCD DOES IS:
1. EXPOSE YOURSELF (VISUALLY) TO THE SOURCE OF THE FEAR THAT STARTS YOUR OBSESSION (AND HENCE STARTS YOUR COMPULSIONS);
2. THEN, TRY TO
NOT PERFORM YOUR COMPULSIONS IN THE PRESENCE OF THESE FEARS OR OBSESSIONS;
3. START WITH A SMALL FEAR AND WORK UP TO NOT REACTING TO LARGER ONES;
4. AS YOU BECOME PROFICIENT AT THIS, THE COMPULSIONS SHOULD DIMINISH BECAUSE YOUR BRAIN CHEMISTRY IS BEING CHANGED AND THE NEURAL CONNECTIONS ARE BEING CHANGED AS WELL IN TERMS OF OCD.
5. TRY THIS METHOD 20 MINUTES A DAY...UNTIL THE OCD EXTINCTS ITSELF. IT'S EASIER SAID THAN DONE, BUT IT TAKES A LOT OF WILL-POWER. I HAVEN'T SPENT THE TIME TO MASTER THIS TREATMENT YET BUT NEED TO.
THE NAME OF THE ERPA BOOK IS CALLED:
