Most Therapists Are NOT Trained To Treat OCD — These Two Are Changing That


Listen Later

Most therapists don’t get formal training in how to treat OCD. In fact, many graduate programs barely mention it at all. That leads to years of misdiagnosis, missed symptoms, and patients getting the wrong kind of help. The result? People with OCD are left suffering longer than they should — even in the care of well-meaning professionals.


That’s why Elizabeth DuPont Spencer and Kimberly Morrow decided to do something about it. After decades of clinical experience, they launched a global training program to help therapists actually understand OCD — and how to treat it with evidence-based care like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). In this conversation, they share the turning points in their own careers, why ERP is so misunderstood, and what it’s like watching clinicians finally connect the dots — and help their clients get better.
