What Makes A Great OCD Therapist?

What does it take to become a great OCD therapist? Our very own NOCD therapists, Barbara Windeknecht and Alexi Pyles, say it's not what you probably think (prior OCD experience). In fact, both came from very different clinical backgrounds with little OCD experience. What mattered more was a willingness to learn, ask questions, stay curious, and keep showing up for members even when the work felt challenging. In this episode, Barbara and Alexi discuss the traits they believe help therapists thrive in OCD treatment. They also share why exposure and response prevention therapy feels different from traditional therapy, and why some of the best therapists aren't the ones who know everything, but rather, they're the ones who never stop learning. Barbara and Alexi have filmed two prior episodes.
