ERP for OCD Courses
If you’re looking for structured support beyond blog posts, these OCD courses offer different ways to learn and practice ERP, depending on where you feel stuck and what kind of guidance you’re looking for.
I’m an affiliate for the courses listed on this page. I only recommend courses that align with evidence-based OCD treatment and how I understand and teach ERP and are led by clinicians I trust.
Some people start with structured ERP skills. Others need help with rumination first. Some reach a point where they want to understand why ERP stalled and how to adjust.
Learning is not the same thing as doing ERP, but the right education can make ERP clearer, less confusing, and easier to practice in daily life.
The Rumination Reset™
For OCD that won’t stop looping in your head
If your OCD mostly shows up as nonstop thinking, replaying, reviewing, or trying to figure things out, this course is designed specifically for that experience.
The Rumination Reset™, created by ERP expert Kimberley Quinlan, LMFT, focuses on six core ERP-based skills for when compulsions are mental rather than visible. It helps you recognize when you’re stuck in mental rituals and practice responding differently in real time, without getting pulled into endless internal debates.
This course builds directly on the same understanding of mental compulsions and ERP you’ll see throughout this site, including on the Get Unstuck from Mental Compulsions page.
This may be a good fit if you:
- Feel trapped in rumination or mental checking
- Understand ERP in theory but struggle to apply it when thoughts won’t shut off
- Want practical tools for responding to mental rituals
Your OCD Toolkit
A structured, self-paced way to learn ERP at home
Your OCD Toolkit is a comprehensive, self-paced ERP course also created by Kimberley Quinlan, an OCD specialist whose work is thoughtful, compassionate, and firmly grounded in evidence-based treatment.
It walks you step by step through the foundations of ERP, including exposures, response prevention, and how OCD operates across different themes. This can be especially helpful if you don’t currently have access to weekly therapy or want more structure alongside therapy.
This may be a good fit if you:
- Want a clear, organized way to learn ERP skills
- Don’t have access to specialized OCD therapy right now
Feel overwhelmed trying to piece ERP together from blogs or social media
Mastering the Subtleties of ERP
When ERP hasn’t worked the way you expected
This is a more advanced option.
Mastering the Subtleties of ERP is a recorded workshop I created to address a specific and very common problem: people doing ERP but still feeling stuck.
Although it’s designed primarily for therapists and includes continuing education credits, people with OCD may find it helpful once they’ve already learned the basics of ERP and want a deeper understanding of what may be interfering with progress.
The workshop focuses on subtle mental, emotional, and behavioral compulsions that often go unnoticed, as well as the role of attitude in ERP. These hidden patterns can quietly undermine recovery, even when exposures look “right” on the surface. The workshop also includes a recording of me doing a first exposure with someone, so you can see how key ERP skills come together in real time.
This may be a good fit if you:
- Have done ERP before but plateaued or backslid
- Suspect there’s something subtle you’re missing
- Want a clearer framework for identifying hidden compulsions
- Are interested in a deeper, more nuanced understanding of how ERP works
