On this episode of the Psychology Talk Podcast, we have the pleasure of speaking, once again, with Dr. Michael Alcée, a clinical psychologist based in Tarrytown, New York. Michael is not only a mental health educator at the Manhattan School of Music but also an award-winning author. His innovative work marries the worlds of psychology and creativity, offering fresh insights into the human condition. His acclaimed book, Therapeutic Improvisation: How to Stop Winging It and Own It as a Therapist, highlights his unique approach to therapy and personal growth. Join us as we explore Michael’s groundbreaking perspectives on OCD and the hidden strengths that lie within. His new book is entitled Upside of OCD: Flip the Script to Reclaim Your Life.

Dr. Hoye & Dr. Alcée cover the creative side of OCD and dive into the heart of what makes OCD "tick." Discover how to meet OCD in a new light, combining the older, more mechanistic models of treatment, such as CBT and exposure therapy, with the emotional side of the disorder. They unravel OCD's paradoxes and find the gems hiden in plain sight. This epsiode should add more insight, and quite possibly flip your OCD script.
