Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a commonly misunderstood diagnosis that many therapists are fearful to work with. Hearing that your client is distressed by thoughts of harming themselves or others, or fears of hurting children, can cause therapists to wonder if they should take action for safety. The key discernment in treating OCD is understanding that these thoughts are unwanted and intrusive and that the client with OCD will not act out on them. Knowing how to address thoughts like these is important for successful treatment. This presentation will describe the differences in OCD thoughts versus actual harm thoughts and learn how to communicate treatment to a client as well as execute a treatment plan.
OCD is the most common anxiety disorder and one that requires very specialized treatment. Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is an evidence-based treatment modality that has been scientifically proven to demonstrate a reduction of symptoms through the process of desensitization to the fears. This presentation will outline the various ways in which OCD can manifest, the differences in the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and ERP, the principles of ERP, and how to execute a hierarchy and treatment.
