FREE 6-HOUR LIVE OCD TREATMENT WEBINAR FOR THERAPISTS
TUESDAY, AUGUST 4TH, 2026 @ 10:00 AM TO 5:30 PM ET
Learn To Read OCD As A Brain Pathway Problem & Move Clients Forward Where Reassurance Never Could
Free 6-Hour Webinar With Dr. Catherine Pittman, PhD, HSPP. 6 CE Credits & Full Recording Available For Purchase After Free Registration.
In this free 6-hour Webinar, learn the two-pathway brain model that finally explains what is happening with your OCD clients: the amygdala loop that maintains compulsions through fear, the cortex-driven obsessions that reasoning makes worse, & how ERP retrains the brain where reassurance never could.

MODULE 1
Understand The Role Of The Amygdala In OCD
How the amygdala pathway shows up in every OCD case you see.
MODULE 2
Learn Three Proven Ways To Calm The Amygdala
How to give clients a concrete starting point before exposure begins.
MODULE 3
Map How The Amygdala Maintains Obsessions & Compulsions
How to explain the OCD cycle to any client at any education level.
MODULE 4
Identify How The Cortex Drives Amygdala Activation
How cortex-based thinking feeds the amygdala loop & makes reasoning backfire.
MODULE 5
Apply Cortex-Based Strategies To Modify Self-Defeating Thinking
How to interrupt rumination & teach clients the correct use of worry.
MODULE 6
Run ERP With Confidence & Retrain The Amygdala For Lasting Change
How ERP teaches the amygdala new responses that hold beyond the session.
LEARN THE BRAIN-BASED OCD FRAMEWORK:
Dr. Catherine Pittman, PhD, HSPP: Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Dr. Catherine Pittman did not develop her brain-based approach to OCD from the research literature alone. She has worked directly with clients whose compulsions, obsessions, & avoidance patterns standard treatment never reached. From that clinical reality, she co-authored Rewire Your OCD Brain, translating the neuroscience of the amygdala & cortex pathways into language any client can understand & any clinician can apply.
What she brings to the August 4th OCD Treatment Webinar is that same framework, built from real clinical work with real OCD cases. Her approach is not a summary of the literature. It is the clinical translation of what the amygdala fear loop does to compulsions, what cortex-driven rumination does to obsessions, & how targeting the right pathway with Exposure with Response Prevention creates the lasting change that reassurance & insight-based work never could.
Here Is What Changes After This Webinar:
WITH THIS MASTERCLASS:
You identify whether the amygdala or cortex is driving the case before intervening
You explain the OCD brain cycle to any client in language they understand
You run ERP with a clear structure instead of dreading you will do it wrong
You apply cortex-based strategies to the exact thinking pattern keeping the client stuck
WITHOUT THIS MASTERCLASS:
OCD gets treated like a generic anxiety problem & the cycle stays intact
Reassurance keeps working short-term & the compulsion loop never breaks
ERP feels too risky & the case gets referred out to someone else
The client understands their OCD fully & still cannot stop the cycle
6 CEs, Lifetime Replay & Clinical tools: Available For Purchase After Registration (You'll Be Redirected automatically)
Frequently Asked Questions
I work with OCD clients but I am not trained in a brain-based approach. Is this Webinar appropriate for me?
Yes. This Webinar is built for clinicians who already carry OCD clients & want the two-pathway brain-based framework that standard training never provided.
I have taken OCD trainings before that felt too theoretical to use in session. How is this different?
Dr. Catherine Pittman teaches the amygdala & cortex pathway model, the ERP application framework, & the cortex-based intervention strategies designed to apply in your next session, not stored for later.
I am trained in CBT, EMDR, or DBT. Will this conflict with my existing training?
No. The brain-based OCD framework adds an assessment & intervention layer to the modality you already practice without asking you to abandon it.
My OCD clients keep cycling despite solid work. Is this only for formally diagnosed cases?
No. The Webinar focuses on the amygdala & cortex pathways underneath the presentation, so it applies whether or not a formal diagnosis is in the chart.
How many CE credits can I receive, & how do I get them?
6 CE credits total from the OCD Treatment Webinar: A Brain-Based Approach to Lasting Change with Dr. Catherine Pittman, PhD, HSPP. Available for purchase after you register.
Can I get the recording if I cannot attend live?
Yes. The full 6-hour recording is included in the Premium Pass with lifetime access. You can purchase it at the next step once you register for the Webinar.
Are the CE credits board-approved for my license?
Yes. To check approval for your license type & state, scroll to the bottom of this page & click the Board Approvals button.
Scope and Limitations Disclosure:
This training provides licensed mental health professionals with a brain-based clinical framework for assessing & treating Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) through the amygdala & cortex pathways, including the two-pathway model, Exposure with Response Prevention (ERP), & cortex-based strategies for modifying self-defeating thinking patterns & teaching clients the correct use of worry. Content teaches clinical application of the framework only & does not reproduce any proprietary Pittman assessment instrument or worksheet. Published books are available from New Harbinger Publications. This training does not offer certification & is not a substitute for clinical supervision or formal training. Participants are encouraged to apply content within their individual scope of practice & in accordance with applicable professional & ethical guidelines.
Commercial Support Disclosure
Dr. Catherine Pittman, PhD, HSPP, is an independent clinician & continuing education presenter specializing in OCD treatment & anxiety neuroscience. This Webinar does not require participants to purchase any additional products, books, or materials to complete the training.
