Understanding and Managing OCD
This chapter explores the complexities of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), focusing on doubt, memory, and the critical role of psychoeducation in therapy. It highlights structured approaches for patients to engage actively in their recovery through exposure and response prevention (ERP) strategies, emphasizing the importance of facing fears rather than relying on compulsive behaviors. The discussion further details practical techniques and assignments that can empower individuals to confront intrusive thoughts, ultimately fostering resilience and self-acceptance throughout their therapeutic journey.
