- Short Description:
- This session offers a practical, structured approach to treating OCD through exposure and response prevention. Key assignments include daily worry time, postponing obsessions, loop tapes, and scripted worst-case scenarios to desensitize anxiety. Techniques for modifying rituals—like slowing them down or adding consequences—help disrupt compulsive patterns. The discussion also covers OCD subtypes, working with children using rewards and play, and integrating medication when appropriate. Emphasis is placed on accepting obsessions, avoiding reassurance, and tailoring interventions to each client.

- Short Description:
- This workshop explores how rigid, self-reinforcing behavioral patterns—“games without end”—can be disrupted through meta-level interventions. Drawing on Bateson’s systems theory and Erickson’s clinical methods, the discussion covers strategies like benevolent sabotage, paradox, and behavior prescriptions that shift entrenched dynamics. Practical examples include work with perfectionism, sexual disconnection, and resistant teens. The role of language, suggestion, and therapeutic relationship are central themes throughout.
