Webinar Starts In:
OCD Treatment Masterclass: When Clients Are Stuck in Loops of Intrusive Thoughts and Compulsive Rituals
What You'll Learn Inside the Masterclass:
Module 1
Why OCD Keeps Winning Even When Therapy Is Working
Your client is doing everything right. The compulsions are still expanding. You'll learn exactly what anxiety treatment misses, & why ERP finally breaks the cycle.
Module 2
Diagnose OCD Accurately: Including the Presentations Most Clinicians Miss
Taboo thoughts. Pure O. OCD wearing the mask of anxiety. You'll know exactly what you're treating before the first intervention, so nothing gets built on the wrong foundation.
Module 3
Build an Exposure Plan Your Client Can Actually Tolerate
Not a textbook protocol. A plan built around this client's exact triggers and tolerance level, so they stay in the work instead of shutting down.
Module 4
Run Exposures and Troubleshoot When Clients Push Back
Your client won't do the exposure. You'll learn when to push, when to adjust, & how to spot the subtle ways clients neutralize the work without either of you realizing it.
Module 5
Use Mindfulness and ACT Inside ERP Without Backfiring
These tools can support ERP or quietly undermine it. You'll learn exactly where they fit, & where they accidentally give your client a new way to avoid the discomfort.
Module 6
Avoid Referring Out OCD Cases and Start Keeping Them
Address family accommodation. Know when to escalate to medication. Walk away confident enough to treat OCD cases you've been sending elsewhere.

I'm not an OCD specialist. Is this too advanced for me?
This masterclass is designed for licensed clinicians who encounter OCD in their caseload but weren't specifically trained to treat it. If you've been using anxiety frameworks and hitting a ceiling, this is exactly where you need to be.
What kind of clients is this most useful for?
Clients with intrusive thoughts, compulsive rituals, reassurance-seeking patterns, or expanding avoidance behaviors - including presentations that look like generalized anxiety but aren't responding to standard treatment.
I already know CBT. How different is ERP really?
CBT addresses the thought. ERP targets the compulsive response to the thought. For OCD, that distinction is everything. This training shows you exactly where standard CBT leaves the cycle intact and what ERP does differently.
Will this cover the OCD presentations I actually see — not just textbook cases?
Yes. The masterclass covers taboo intrusive thoughts, Pure O, OCD that mimics anxiety disorders, family accommodation, and treatment refusal — the presentations most CE courses skip entirely.
Is ERP going to feel too harsh for my clients?
ERP is graduated and client-paced. You'll learn how to sequence exposures your client can tolerate, how to troubleshoot when they push back, and how to keep treatment moving without pushing them into shutdown.
My client refuses to do exposures. Will this help me with that?
Yes. Exposure refusal and avoidance are covered directly — including how to identify subtle neutralizing behaviors your client may not even recognize as compulsions.
What if I see OCD alongside other diagnoses?
The masterclass covers differential diagnosis and how to identify OCD when it presents alongside anxiety disorders, depression, and other clinical conditions. You'll learn how to build a treatment approach that accounts for the full picture.
Is the webinar really free?
Yes. The live webinar is completely free to attend. CE credits and recording access are available for purchase in the next step.
