Understanding Cognitive Therapy for OCD with Dr. Maureen Whittal
In this episode of #OurAnxietyStories, part of the OCD Series, Mark Antczak from Anxiety Canada talks with Dr. Maureen Whittal, co-founder of Anxiety Canada and chair of its Scientific Advisory Committee. Dr Whittal delves into how we interpret and give meaning to intrusive thoughts, the role of shame, and the differences between Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and cognitive therapy for OCD. She discusses the emotional impact of these thoughts, how they can conflict with our values, and offers insights on reducing their perceived threat by seeing them as just thoughts, without giving them undue power. This episode provides valuable guidance on addressing the complex emotions associated with OCD.
