With a decade of experience, Colter has seen the transformative power of ERP, a therapy that involves confronting feared stimuli and resisting compulsive responses to alleviate anxiety. Through detailed explanations, Colter highlights the effectiveness of ERP in rewiring the brain's fear responses and empowering clients to build resilience through discomfort.
