Class 1

11:00 AM - 2:00 PM EST

Treating OCD with ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention)

On average, it takes a person with OCD 14-17 years from the onset of symptoms to get a proper diagnosis and effective treatment. We need to do better. In this class you will learn how to correctly diagnose Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, educate clients about it, give them hope, elicit motivation, and provide effective treatment. Exposure and Response Prevention is evidence-based treatment, which is unique to treating OCD. You will learn about this therapeutic approach and how to apply it in a clinical setting (in-person or telehealth). You will engage in experiential exercises, learn metaphors, and review clinical examples. We will also discuss engaging client's support system in the process, which is very important in treating OCD.

(Trainer - Anna Morgan, LCSW is OCD and Anxiety Disorders specialist working in private practice. Initially CBT-trained clinician. She has been providing ERP-based treatment for many years. She has trained licensed clinicians and students, provided consultation, as well as designed ERP-based programs.)

Class 2

2:45 PM - 4:45 PM EST

The Therapeutic Alliance: Building Trust with Clients and Families

Studies show a strong correlation between the therapeutic alliance and positive client outcomes (Cameron et al., 2018; Sylvestre & Gobeil, 2020). Essential techniques for building rapport and trust include empathetic communication and reflective responding (Taylor, 2020; Harris & Panozzo, 2019). Additionally, engaging families in the therapeutic process has been shown to enhance client success (Skundberg-Kletthagen et al., 2020).

This course educates participants on the value of the therapeutic alliance in both individual and family work, while teaching effective communication skills to foster trust and rapport with clients and their families. Participants will learn techniques to engage family systems in therapy to improve treatment outcomes and gain tools to navigate challenging dynamics and build collaborative therapeutic relationships.

(Trainer - Elizabeth "Liz" Bullard, LPC, is the founder of Ebullard Counseling Inc. She specializes in a collaborative, strengths- based approach that builds strong therapeutic connections with clients, participants, and communities.)
