Come and join us for a rich and insightful introduction to OCD. This engaging session will explore the diagnostic criteria, as well as differential diagnoses, practical skills, and popular treatment modalities.
We will recognize how common OCD is, debunk myths, and highlight the importance of asking the right screening questions to identify the differences between OCD and anxiety, phobias, and other diagnoses that it is commonly misdiagnosed as.
You’ll gain insight into key evidenced-based treatments for OCD, while also exploring how attention to attachment and co-regulation can enhance outcomes and help clients feel safe enough to face their fears.
Pop culture touchpoints we will use as reference points, some more accurate depictions than others, include television shows like Monk, FRIENDS, and Boy Meets World, and movies including What About Bob?, As Good as It Gets, The Aviator, Trap, and GLEE.
This training focuses primarily on adult and adolescent clients, though the principles discussed can be adapted for younger populations.
