# [[Exposure and Response Prevention]]
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is a type of [[Cognitive Behavioral Therapy]] designed to teach an individual to respond better to a triggering object or situation by:
- gradually exposing them to the feared object or compulsion
- identifying the ways that they are inclined to act, and why some of those reactions can be unhealthy
- retraining them to think or react in a different, more healthy way
