18 分钟There are nine specific things I tell my OCD clients in the very first session, and these are not fluffy things.
These are specific concepts that will continue to be the backbone of OCD treatment.
So today I'm going to take you through the actual step-by-step process
that I take my clients through on their very first session.
I'm going to teach you the specific nine things so you can get to work,
whether you're with a therapist on your own or whether you're one of my students taking your OCD toolkit
and you're doing this step-by-step through the program we have at CBT School.
My goal here is to make you confident, to make you get really clear on the mindset shifts
you're going to need to make and so you can get going and feel like you're ready to move forward.
So get your notepad out, get your pens, get a cup of tea, and let's do this together.
First thing I'm going to tell my OCD client is that you are so freaking brave for doing this treatment.
Learning you have OCD and signing up for therapy is the coolest, bravest, most courageous thing you could do.
I just want to celebrate you for being here today and being ready to go.
Now you might feel ready.
You might feel a little like, oh my gosh, and a little bit scared.
That's okay.
To change some things, I want to have a different response to my intrusive thoughts.
I want to overcome this condition that's taking and taking and taking from my life,
so let's take a moment to really just celebrate the fact that you are here,
even if you're listening to this today and you're not even quite sure you're ready to get going.
