Had an interest in working with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) but not quite sure where to start? Or, have you ever had a client with OCD but you feel stuck? Working with OCD doesn’t have to feel like a mystery. I’ve put together this workshop to share my knowledge of working with OCD with you by sharing a protocol that can help so that you feel more confident in working with people with OCD.
In the workshop I’ll share my knowledge with you in managing the intricacies of OCD by discussing cases, sharing videos of ERP in action, and I’ll provide loads of resources including client ready handouts that have been tried and tested to use in treatment. These handouts alone are worth their weight in gold and provide the structure you’ll need to feel confident in monitoring your client’s MB-ERP. I use them with my clients, as do my colleagues and previous workshop attendees, and all have reported that the feedback they get from clients is that they love using them as they help them stay on track. As an added bonus, you’ll also be granted access to my OCD Clinician peer support group (if you’re not already in it), that has been set up on Facebook where you can have access to an amazing group of clinicians to learn from, as well as have access to further training videos and resources from me. So, if you want in, follow the prompts to register and I’ll send you the first link for Session 1.
