#142- Disgust-Based OCD And Evolving Treatment Methods With Rich Gallagher, MFT

For today’s episode, I interview Rich Gallagher, MFT, about his recent article the IOCDF news letter about Disgust-Based OCD. His article offers an overview of what Disgust-Based obsessions are and how his Mastery focused treatment differs from the traditional Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) based treatment. We additionally discuss the growing body of research for alternative treatment methods beyond CBT, ERP, and ACT. This was a really fun interview and I learned some great tips on better ways to help people struggling with a difficult OCD/ Anxiety theme.
