The good news about obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is that it’s highly treatable with evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and exposure and response prevention (ERP). Unfortunately, these treatments can be especially challenging since they often require patients to face their greatest fears. This is where acceptance and commitment therapy comes into play: its motivational tools can make a big difference.
