In the third episode, Dr. John Abramowitz, internationally recognized expert on OCD, dives deeper into the discussion on treating Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). He talks about the benefits of value-oriented behavior in exposure work, the significance of identifying a patient's values, and the role of exposure therapy. John suggests how to implement exposure therapy to help patients lead a quality life, shifting focus away from eliminating anxiety to acting despite its presence. He also discusses the benefits and limitations of medication in treating OCD and how successful treatment looks: not the complete absence of anxiety or obsessions, but having a healthier relationship with those concepts.
