Master OCD Recovery Plan

OCD Recovery Center of America

Awareness

Tools

1. Exposure and Response Prevention
   
   
   • Intensity - keeping anxiety levels between the SUB levels of 25-75
     
     
   • 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!)
   
   
   
2. Perspective, Concepts and Cognitive Therapy
   
   
3. Self-Care Practices and Procedures
   
   
4. Supportive Resources and Augmentation Agents
