Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.

When It Is Used

Use near discharge, ERP completion, medication changes, or other identified high-risk periods when a client needs a concrete plan for early symptom return.

What It Captures

The plan captures stable OCD themes, costly compulsions, early warning signs, likely triggers, previously effective ERP tools, support contacts, first-48-hours actions, and booster-session criteria.

Important Limits

The tool does not assess OCD severity, diagnose relapse, prescribe new ERP exercises, infer risk, or generate clinical instructions that were not entered by the practitioner or client.

Is this a symptom tracker?

No. It is a relapse-prevention and flare-response plan for OCD/ERP maintenance, not a broad symptom tracker.

Can the demo be used without entering real client information?

Yes. The public demo should use fictional or placeholder content only, and sample responses are not saved as real client data.

What can the practitioner configure?

The practitioner can configure an assignment note and optional review timing. The worksheet domains are fixed.

Does the result predict whether the client is relapsing?

No. The result organizes reported warning signs, triggers, response steps, supports, and thresholds without predicting relapse or rating severity.
