Live training delivered online – Join Miriam Chachamu on Tuesday 13th February
2024 for this live online OCD course workshop via Zoom. The content covered is
the same as our original attended workshop, with some modifications to the
exercises – you will have plenty of opportunities to ask Miriam questions. We
will send details of how to join the Zoom workshop by email the day before the
event.
BONUS RECORDING – the training is recorded, in case anyone experiences technical
difficulties on the day, so you will also get a recording for a limited time
afterwards to maximise your learning.
WHY TAKE THIS COURSE
Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is not only distressing for sufferers but
for their family members and friends too. Contrary to the popular view of OCD
being harmless over-cleanliness or simply checking things over and over again,
people living with OCD experience a high level of anxiety – and the condition
can damage their relationships, social and work lives, and physical health.
Many sufferers are ashamed of their problem and hide it. Sometimes therapists
fail to recognise the rarer forms of OCD and therefore fail to offer effective
treatment. And many people with milder forms of OCD do not realise that they can
be helped, and do not seek help until their condition becomes much more severe.
This accredited live online course offers an in-depth look at OCD in all its
guises and focuses on practical and effective methods of treatment – OCD
recovery is possible in most cases.
The day is interactive and includes demonstration videos of therapy sessions,
short video clips, in-depth discussions and case studies.
> The films of the therapy sessions and the video of dealing with intrusive
> thoughts were particularly useful
