Ask Alegra: Implementing Consensual Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD

$50.00

Do you struggle with compulsive avoidance of everyday activities (ex. driving, changing a baby’s diaper, cooking) because of OCD? Is it difficult to get through the day because of time-consuming rituals that feel so irresponsible to stop? Do you want to learn how to face fears head on in a way that makes OCD smaller and your world bigger? Are you interested in learning about values-based exposures? And how to implement exposure therapy in a consensual manner so as not to harm yourself or a client?

Do you want to dive deep into the treatment for OCD with the biggest evidence base: Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP)? If so, this is the workshop for you!

In the hour presentation, I will address:

  • The science behind Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP)

  • Intended outcomes of ERP (habituation and/or inhibitory learning)

  • Why response prevention is just as (if not more) important than exposure work

  • How to target a client’s specific obsessional fears

  • The implementation of justice-oriented ERP

  • The application of ERP with mental compulsions

  • Building an exposure hierarchy and a response prevention hierarchy

  • Consensual ERP

  • And more!

This workshop is 1 hour of presentation and 30 minutes of a Q&A.
