Wow what a great guest and interesting interview in a variety of ways. The standard therapy for OCD seems archaic and I’ll bet there is a lot of clients who drop out before they improve. There is preliminary research pointing to EMDR being a good thing to combine with the therapy to ease the stressfulness of it. I’ll bet EFT/tapping would be similarly helpful, although I know you are still skeptical of it Dr. Dave.
Thank you Michael for sharing your inspiring story. While I am a medical professional, psychiatry is quite foreign to me so I love learning – thank you Dr. Dave!
