Do you know how to identify a client's core fear?

A vital element of effective OCD treatment is helping our clients identify their core fear.

But doing so requires nuance and a deeper understanding of how OCD works. In particular, because OCD rotates themes, identifying core fears can be tricky. As the therapist, identifying the common denominator of the various themes, helps you and your client address their concerns in the most effective manner.

Without identifying core fears, you and your client could end up playing a game of whack-a-mole, while OCD jumps from theme to theme.

Hence, the long-term success of OCD treatment depends on learning this skill. And while, yes, this part of treatment requires specialized knowledge and understanding, it's definitely a skill that a therapist can learn through proper training!
