9 Strategies for Success Exposures must be voluntary and only something the therapist would also be willing to do Challenge any response of I ll try Can start with a delay in the compulsion Must do purposeful, planned exposure daily - be specific Note the expectancy violation The learning is in the doing I don t want to tell you about this because then I ll have to do it Go beyond what normal people would do Find a behavioral exposure for obsessions such as an avoidance of trigger pexels Eliminate safety behaviors

10 Exposure Examples Hold a knife Look at photos Write an imaginal script Evoke feeling on purpose and don t correct it Drive around in an area with triggers Say a prayer or compulsion incorrectly Touch or ingest something contaminated Change the ritual or undo it

11 Tolerating Distress In Exposure Anxiety may get worse before it gets better Mindfulness and expansion (ACT) - The Happiness Trap by Russ Harris (2007) Headspace app Diaphragmatic breathing Coping statements i.e. I don t like feeling this way, but I can handle it. Recognizing fear of fear and anticipatory anxiety Benzodiazepine??? vimeo Use interoceptive exposures first

12 Cognitive Therapy

13 Cognitive Therapy Inflated sense of responsibility Over-estimation of the importance or power of thoughts Importance of controlling thoughts Overestimation of danger or threat Intolerance of uncertainty PublicDomainPictures.net

14 Information-seeking vs. Reassurance Seeking An information-seeker Asks a question once Asks questions to be informed Accepts the answer provided Asks people who are qualified to answer the question Asks questions that are answerable Seeks the truth Accepts relative, qualified or uncertain answers when appropriate Pursues only the necessary information to form a conclusion or make a decision A reassurance seeker Repeatedly asks the same question Asks questions to be less anxious Responds to an answer by challenging the answer, arguing, or insisting the answer be repeated or rephrased Often asks people who are unqualified Often asks questions that are unanswerable Seeks a desired answer Insists on absolute, definitive answers Indefinitely pursues information without every forming a conclusion or making a decision. Anxiety Disorders Center, St. Louis Behaviors Medicine Institute

15 How you can support Please do not Try to help figure it out. OCD cannot be figured out. It is not rational. Help the patient determine what caused the OCD. Help the patient strategize how to avoid her anxiety. Try to convince the patient his obsession is unreasonable or incorrect. Give reassurance. Answer the question once - Dr. Hancey s 4A pixabay

16 Indications the patient is not ready Drug use to manage anxiety Self-harm during distress/poor distress tolerance Always having an excuse for not doing the homework Primary fear of panic or somatic sensations -> use interoceptive exposure first
