SUMMARY:I-CBT 101
DESCRIPTION:Join OCD MidAtlantic\, an affiliate of the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF)\, for this engaging educational program introducing Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT)—an innovative\, evidence-based treatment that targets the faulty reasoning and narrative processes that give rise to obsessive doubt. Rather than beginning with feared consequences or compulsions\, I-CBT intervenes at the point where obsessive doubt is formed\, helping individuals identify and modify the cognitive processes that maintain OCD without relying on prolonged exposure to feared situations.
