Do you feel like your anxiety rules your mind and you have no control? You may constantly battle racing thoughts, struggling to focus, and feeling restless. While striving for excellence and witnessing others' success, you're often left feeling anxious, inadequate, and behind. As a high achiever and perfectionist, even when you perform well and receive praise, you still doubt your achievements, feeling like an imposter or as though there's more you should be doing. Communicating your feelings and needs to others is incredibly challenging because you feel guilty asking for help and fear you may burden others.

You feel constantly drained, yet unable to fully shut off. Even when you try to rest, your mind stays busy, replaying responsibilities, expectations, and what still needs to be done. The pressure never really lifts. Tasks pile up faster than you can clear them, and even when you are productive, it never feels like enough. It can feel like swimming upstream in a steady current, expending enormous effort just to stay above water. You are exhausted, but your system does not know how to slow down.
I'm Jessica, a Registered Clinical Counsellor and Psychotherapist, and I work with people who are in chronic stress and ready for change.

Mental health problems are fairly common among Canadians, with estimates that 20% of Canadians experience a mental health issue each year. Yet, people often suffer through these issues on their own. Just because you're going through a difficult time now doesn't mean it will always be this way. Speaking with a psychologist can help you move past these issues to get you back on track.

Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) Counsellors
Do I need exposure and response prevention therapy?
Many clients decide to seek help for obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviours when these symptoms are distressing enough to disrupt everyday life. Any thoughts or behaviours that cause friction in close relationships are also worth addressing. In addition, the client’s symptoms don’t have to be severe for them to benefit from ERP therapy.
Is exposure and response prevention therapy part of cognitive behavioural therapy?
Exposure and response prevention is one specific type of CBT that focuses on behavioural change in response to triggering stimuli. It is related to exposure therapy but adds an additional component of preventing compulsive and harmful responses.
How long does exposure and response prevention therapy take?
While every patient is different, exposure and response prevention therapy typically lasts around 12 sessions, although some treatments can take longer. A therapist will determine if the treatment is complete based on how the client faces their fears, particularly the strongest ones. When a client feels less anxiety about stimuli that once evoked terror or distress, that is generally an indication that they are nearing the end of ERP therapy.
What are the limitations of exposure and response prevention therapy?
The most common pitfalls of exposure and response prevention therapy include not addressing a client’s core fears, allowing the client to avoid their most distressing stimuli, and using imaginary exposure when the client requires real-life exposure (and vice versa). ERP therapy is most effective when the client commits to the full course of treatment; if the client stops early or doesn’t practice what they have learned outside of therapy sessions, they are less likely to have successful outcomes.
