The idea of exposure-based therapy can be daunting for some clients suffering from crippling OCD. While ERP is the most well-known prescription for OCD, currently it is not the only evidence-based modality that is designed to tackle OCD. In fact, other options exist that do not rely on the exposure element for a successful treatment outcome. For many, I-CBT gets the job done as a stand-alone approach, backed by strong evidence of enduring positive outcomes in the face of OCD’s most challenging symptomatology.

Join us as we learn the ins and outs of Inference-Based Cognitive Behavior Therapy (I-CBT), a non-exposure based modality for the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Using a very down-to-earth and accessible teaching style, this course is designed for therapists who come in with an with an existing framework for understanding and treating (OCD). While exposure and response prevention (ERP) is another wonderful tool in treating OCD, our toolboxes for treatment should be as varied as the individuals we serve. Join us as we take a deep dive into the mechanisms of change that make I-CBT such a wonderfully healing tool.
