Therapeutic resistance is a familiar challenge, but ambivalence in clients with OCD presents a uniquely complex barrier to progress. In the video below, I demonstrate how to shift this dynamic using a bold, counterintuitive cognitive-behavioral approach.

In the video is Kathleen, a client gripped by fears of causing harm—either by starting a fire or spreading illness. Caught in a relentless cycle of checking and washing, she struggles with the need for certainty that fuels her compulsions.

My intention here is to show you how to guide clients like Kathleen toward embracing uncertainty and reclaiming control.

Panic disorder can be a daunting challenge—not just for those who suffer from it, but for the clinicians who treat it. A key component of the disorder is the fear of future panic attacks, leading to avoidance behaviors that reinforce anxiety. While Exposure Therapy is considered the gold standard treatment, many therapists have never had the opportunity to see it in practice—until now.

In this powerful, real-life demonstration, I work with Renée, a woman who has struggled with severe panic disorder for nearly a decade. Unable to drive, shop, or even take a simple walk alone, her world has become smaller and smaller. But through my provocative approach, Renée learns to do something revolutionary—invite her symptoms in rather than run from them.

With humor, compassion, and guided in vivo exposure therapy, I help Renée change her relationship with her symptoms, showing her that it’s not the panic itself that holds her back—but her fear of it. Witness this transformative moment as Renée gains the courage to break free from her avoidance patterns and reclaim her life.
