Emily Hemendinger: Executive functioning, and decision making in OCD (#387)

In episode 387 I chat with Emily Hemendinger. Emily is clinical director of the OCD Program at the University of Colorado Health Outpatient Psychiatry Clinic.  We discuss what’s new with her, what is executive functioning, how OCD can effect executive functioning, how impaired executive functioning can impact people’s quality of life, things that can help, decision making, how exposure and response prevention therapy (ERP) comes into play with decision making, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and much more. Hope it helps.  Show notes: https://theocdstories.com/episode/emily-387  The podcast is made possible by NOCD. NOCD offers effective, convenient therapy available in the US and outside the US.
