  • It’s true that exposure and response prevention therapy (ERP) is an activating form of therapy. In order to be fully engaged in the process, it will be uncomfortable. That being said, Lumira Psychotherapy does not believe in intentionally flooding clients with distress. ERP is meant to be collaborative and gradual. You will be informed along the way and play an active role in deciding what exposures you feel capable of trying. Typically the distress felt by engaging in exposures is temporary and clients often see the benefit of this therapy a few sessions into engaging with exposures. It is also typical that the first few sessions are assessment based and then you will be oriented to the “hows” and “whys” of exposure therapy. Often this helps people feel more informed about the process and acts as a gradual introduction to this form of therapy.
