Show Notes
In this episode of The Therapy Show, I welcome Dr. Aliza Goldstein, a clinical psychologist specializing in OCD and anxiety disorders. She dives deep into the intricacies of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, shedding light on its varied manifestations and the most effective treatments currently available.
The episode starts with a thorough exploration of the true nature of OCD. Dr. Goldstein expertly unpacks the principles of Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy, explaining how this approach helps to disrupt the cycle of obsessions and compulsions. The discussion then expands to include how Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can be integrated with ERP to enhance outcomes for patients, helping them accept their thoughts while committing to value-driven actions.
The conversation also critically examines why traditional therapies like CBT and psychodynamic therapy may not be as effective in treating OCD, providing insights into the unique challenges posed by the disorder and the necessity for specialized treatment approaches.
This episode not only broadens your understanding of OCD but also qualifies for one continuing education contact hour. To purchase the course and earn your credit, please visit www.lisamustard.com/podcourses.
