Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is considered the most effective treatment for OCD - but what exactly does it involve, and why does it work? In this webinar, you'll learn what ERP looks like in practice, how it helps reduce compulsions and fear, and what to expect when starting treatment. Whether you're new to ERP or seeking clarity, this session will break it down in an accessible, supportive way.

OCD can take many forms - often in ways that are misunderstood or overlooked. In this webinar, Dr Sofia Wenzler from StopOCD will walk us through the different subtypes, including Contamination OCD, Checking OCD, Harm OCD, Just-Right OCD, and more.
You’ll gain a better understanding of how OCD shows up in everyday life, how to recognize intrusive thoughts and compulsions, and why naming your subtype can be a helpful step toward recovery.

Whether you're just beginning to explore obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) or have been on this journey for some time, this is a valuable opportunity to gain expert insights into OCD, intrusive thoughts, compulsions, and effective treatment approaches. Bring your questions, and let’s navigate this together in a supportive and understanding space.
If you’d like, you can also send your questions in advance to support@stopocd.com, and Dr. Sofia Wenzler - your host - will address them during the session.

In this session, previously shared from our Skinpick program, we dive into what compulsions are, why they occur, and how to manage them effectively. Learn about the cycle of compulsive behaviors and how to break it using practical techniques like mindfulness, grounding exercises, and habit reversal. We’ll also explore tools like stimulus control, from adjusting routines to creating physical barriers, all designed to help reduce urges. 
 

In this session, originally developed for our skin picking community, we’ll dive into the complexities of OCD, with a focus on how it can overlap with Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs). While the emphasis is on understanding OCD, we’ll also address questions like, Do I have OCD, a BFRB, or both? as these behaviors often intersect. Dr. Sofia Wenzler will guide us through common OCD triggers, clarify the key distinctions between OCD and BFRBs, and explore treatment approaches designed to help manage these conditions effectively.
