Dr Ronald Nicholson: Sensory OCD (Somatic/Sensorimotor OCD) (Ep538)

In episode 538 I chat with Dr Ronald Nicholson. Ron is a clinical psychologist. We discuss why he doesn’t use somatic and sensorimotor OCD labels interchangeably, why he likes the label of sensory OCD, core fear vs the content, the idea of taking the B grade, the obsessions and compulsions around this theme, using exposure and response prevention therapy (ERP) on this theme, exposure scripting, and much more. Hope it helps. Show notes: https://theocdstories.com/episode/ron... The podcast is made possible by NOCD. NOCD offers effective, convenient therapy available in the US and outside the US.
