Hi there, Yes Exposure and response prevention or ERP is an effective method of treating symptoms of OCD where compulsions are predominantly present. It is always more effective if this therapy is given as a part of Cognitive behavioural therapy considering the years of cognitive distortions.
Next Steps
Please consider getting in touch with a psychiatrist or  psychotherapist  of ur choice who is trained in such therapies. You will certainly benefit from it.
Health Tips
It will take 8 to 16 sessions on average.
