Description

In this workshop, we’ll dive into these subtleties at every stage of treatment so you can set your clients with OCD up for ERP success. We’ll begin with how to thoroughly assess a client’s OCD (and other) symptoms and whether they match the treatment intensity that you offer. We’ll then do a live session-length demo of conducting the first exposure with a client, including why it’s so important to help the client radically shift their relationship with anxiety and OCD and how to interrupt mental rituals that can sabotage the exposure. Next, we’ll talk in detail about the add-ons to ERP that can help clients take their practice to a new level, including self-compassion and a new take on mindfulness for OCD. Since most of a client’s progress comes from doing ERP homework on their own, we’ll cover obstacles clients often face to doing exercises between sessions and how to overcome them.
