Overview
Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is a well-established, evidence-based treatment approach that can significantly improve OCD symptoms within a few months, transforming a chronic condition with poor long-term outcomes into one with significantly better and lasting improvements.
It is highly effective in alleviating the profound impact that OCD can have on functioning and quality of life.
This workshop is designed to equip participants with the skills to assess, conceptualize, and plan an individualized treatment for clients presenting with OCD. Participants will learn a variety of CBT interventions designed to help clients :
- reduce intrusive obsessions;
- prevent compulsive behaviors;
- identify and modify unhelpful beliefs;
- decrease avoidance;
- manage distressing emotions and physical sensations.
This workshop will go over how to deliver each treatment component, from the initial assessment to the implementation of strategies for relapse prevention and termination. By the end of this training, you will have the necessary tools to reduce the impact that OCD has on your clients’ lives.
