Jonny Say: OCD and the therapeutic relationship (#485)

In episode 485 I chat with Jonny Say. Jonny is a UK based therapist and co-director at The Integrative Centre for OCD Therapy. 

We discuss the importance of the therapeutic relationship, the benefits of it to outcomes, functional analytic psychotherapy (FAP), how compulsions can get in the way of the therapeutic relationship, how a good therapeutic relationship can help acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and exposure and response prevention therapy (ERP), the therapeutic relationship as a way of dealing with shame, rupture and repair, Jonny and I share our own experiences from therapeutic relationships, and much more. Hope it helps.
