Clients with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) get caught up in a mental game they're guaranteed to lose. Constantly seeking absolute certainty, predictability, and the avoidance of all anxiety, they become ever more intent upon perfecting the compulsive behavior they think will protect them, which only increases their anxiety and compulsive behavior. In this workshop, we'll discuss how to quickly persuade clients to voluntarily seek out and embrace uncertainty and anxiety, thereby discovering that what they most fear is, in reality, a paper tiger. You'll learn techniques that create rapport and trust with OCD clients, highlight for them what they've lost because of their condition, and generate positive motivation to develop mastery over their symptoms.
