Ocd Erp Therapist

# ocd-erp-therapist

An OpenClaw skill for conducting structured OCD Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy sessions with an inhibitory learning framework, automated check-in reminders, progress tracking, and safety protocols.

> **Clinical Foundation**: ERP is the first-line psychotherapy for OCD (APA, 2007; NICE CG31, 2024). This skill implements the **inhibitory learning model** (Craske et al., 2014, 2022) — the current evidence-based standard — adapted for self-directed use with AI coaching. It integrates ACT willingness principles (Twohig & Abramowitz, 2015) and motivational interviewing techniques (Simpson et al., 2008) to promote genuine engagement over white-knuckling.
