OCD rarely appears unaccompanied by other comorbid conditions and disorders. Nor does it typically occur without strongly associated but inaccurate beliefs and attitudes or without family involvement in symptoms. To achieve optimal gains in therapy, practical knowledge and skills are needed in how to apply standard behavioral treatment protocols and cognitive interventions, how to integrate these with appropriate medications, and how to address family concerns.

We will address:  burnout prevention strategies; ethical dangers inherent in professional burn-out, how to evaluate satisfaction in professional practice, ethical balance between your life as a therapist and the demands of providing therapy, how to develop pathways to spiritual centeredness for clients and ourselves, and new ways to enhance and renew professional lives.
