Introduction to Treating OCD for Healthcare Professionals

$575.00

This online course is for healthcare professionals working with or who want to work with OCD. Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) has long been known as the gold standard in research as the treatment for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Mindfulness Based Exposure and Response Prevention (MB-ERP) has been gaining traction as a way to improve client outcomes. This introductory workshop is designed to help you learn ways to apply mindfulness based skills into ERP and to gain confidence in working with clients with OCD.

Have you had an interest in working with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) but you are not quite sure where to start? Have you ever had a client with OCD but you felt 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 an email for Session 1.
