- Saturation - making the exposure constantly present in the patient's environment
- Duration - holding the exposure for as long as it takes to habituate
- Neutralization - making sure the patient does not "undue" the exposure with rituals or compulsions. (Sometimes patients have been known to "hold out" for weeks or months before performing a compulsion or ritual to "make it better" and thus neutralize the ERP work!)
