Overview
An emerging treatment methodology in OCD treatment is called the inhibitory learning model. The methodology functions by maximizing the extinction of fear by using ERP to learn new safety information. OCD sufferers will tell you that they have obsessions that lead to fears. For example, a mother may fear harming her child. She has consistent compulsive thoughts about this yet she never acts on it. This is because in OCD, the sufferer does not want to perform the obsession, it is truly nothing more than a thought.The goal of ERP is therefore to learn safety in a way that permanently inhibits obsessional fear.
