I will demonstrate with audience volunteers how I would approach a first session with someone coming
to me suffering from intrusive violent/sexual thoughts, including explaining why they occur, challenging irrational thoughts, and planning tolerable exposure exercises. This workshop will encourage OCD sufferers to seek treatment for these thoughts by demonstrating that effective CBT treatment does not involve forcing the patient to do “awful” things against their will, but rather is a collaborative process.
