Breaking the OCD Cycle: The Power of Exposure and Response Prevention – 6 CE Credit
Calgary Calgary, Alberta, CanadaObsessive-compulsive disorder is not rare and it typically starts early in life. Too often it goes undiagnosed or misdiagnosed for many years. Clients living with OCD are often offered therapy strategies that actually backfire and make their symptoms worse. In this workshop, we will be discussing the gold standard treatment for OCD called Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). This evidence-based therapy is significantly underutilized by mental health practitioners. The workshop provides an overview of family-based ERP treatment planning for OCD and anxiety issues.
