You can dramatically improve the lives of people struggling with obsessive-compulsive disorder by embracing the effective and seamless combination of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Exposure and Ritual Prevention (ERP).  Decades of research show that ERP is impactful for folks with compulsive, clinically-relevant habits, and ACT provides support in this endeavour by helping the person broaden their lifestyle to mindfully engage in vital, valuable, purposeful actions.

Watch ACT expert Daniel Moran, Ph.D., BCBA-D, as he not only improves your OCD therapeutic toolbox, but also provides experiential exercises that will be personally impactful for you!
