Dr Patricia Zurita Ona - W.I.S.E. M.O.V.E.S. in ACT based ERP (#255)
In episode 255 I chat with Dr Patricia Zurita Ona. Patricia is director of the East Bay Behavior Therapy Center and host of the Playing It Safe podcast. She is the author of several books including "The ACT Workbook for Teens with OCD" and her new book "Living Beyond OCD Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy: A Workbook for Adults". In this episode I chat with Patricia about what is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), what is Exposure and Response Prevention therapy (ERP), facing ones fears in service of what matters to them, blending ACT and ERP, her acronym W.I.S.E. M.O.V.E.S. and how she uses it with her clients, misconceptions about ACT, a values based exposure menu, inhibitory learning theory as a way to understand how ERP works, she gives plenty of OCD theme examples, and much much more.
