About This Course

Learn at your own pace.

Welcome to our On-Demand Professional OCD Training Series.

The Anxiety Institute invites you to join our advanced OCD Master Class, a comprehensive 4-part series designed for mental health professionals seeking to deepen their understanding and clinical skills in treating obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). This comprehensive webinar series delves into lesser-known subtypes of OCD, including harm OCD, scrupulosity, and relationship OCD, while providing tools to effectively diagnose and treat these challenging variations.

Throughout the series, participants will also explore the intricate relationship between OCD and eating disorders, learning how to adapt exposure therapy techniques for these specific conditions. Additionally, this course addresses the unique challenges of treating OCD within the LGBTQ+ population, offering insights on culturally sensitive and effective therapeutic approaches.

This advanced-level Master Class is ideal for clinicians who have a strong foundational knowledge of exposure response prevention (ERP) and wish to expand their expertise in treating complex OCD presentations. Each session will focus on specialized subtypes, differential diagnosis, and tailored exposure techniques.

Learning Objectives

  • Accurately identify and differentiate Harm OCD, scrupulosity, and relationship OCD from other symptoms and diagnoses and implement targeted exposure interventions for clients with these presentations.
  • Recognize the similarities and differences between eating-related symptoms of OCD and eating disorders to provide accurate differential diagnoses.
  • Understand the nuances of using exposure therapy for eating disorders and OCD and how to adapt techniques for each condition.
  • Identify the unique challenges of treating OCD within the LGBTQ+ population and apply culturally competent strategies in treatment
