Learn 2-3 specific techniques to help clients manage intrusive thoughts and reduce compulsive behaviors.\nAddress Partner Involvement – Discuss how partners can play a supportive role in treatment and strategies for including them in the therapy process.\nConceptualize Treatment Plans – Understand the key features of effective treatment plans\, including psychoeducation\, practical interventions\, and curated resources tailored for clients with ROCD\nPrioritize Clinician Well-Being – Acknowledge the importance of self-care and professional support to prevent burnout and maintain effectiveness in treating ROCD.\n\nPRESENTER \n \nLaura Miller\, MS\, LCPC\, R-DMT\, is a licensed clinical therapist\, private practice owner\, group facilitator\, and aerial arts enthusiast.
