Exposure And Response Prevention (ERP) Record – Multiple Exposures
This structured worksheet helps clients plan, record, and review repeated exposure and response prevention (ERP) exercises, supporting inhibitory learning, treatment adherence, and sustained progress in evidence-based treatment for obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD).
Exposure And Response Prevention (ERP) Record – Multiple Exposures
If you have obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), there are likely to be some things you either do, or avoid doing, that help you feel safer. These ‘compulsions’ might reduce your anxiety in the short-term, but in the long term they help keep your OCD going.
Exposure and response prevention (ERP) is a way of breaking this cycle. It involves gradually facing situations that trigger your OCD (exposure) while resisting the urge to carry out compulsions (response prevention). This helps your brain learn that anxiety will settle on its own, and that feared outcomes are less likely than they feel. This tool is designed to help you practice ERP and record your results so that you can build confidence and learn that you can cope without relying on compulsions.
Overview
Exposure and response prevention (ERP) is the first-line psychological treatment for obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). This worksheet provides a structured method for planning and documenting multiple ERP exposures, enabling therapists and clients to monitor learning across repeated behavioral practice.
Rather than recording a single exercise, the worksheet helps clients track changes in anxiety, confidence, expectancy violation, and successful response prevention over time. Designed for use alongside cognitive behavioral therapy for OCD, it supports collaborative review, informs progression through exposure hierarchies, and reinforces learning gained through repeated practice.
