S2E61: Understanding How Obsessions Are Key When It Comes To OCD V. GAD with Mike Heady, LCPC
Join your host, Nicole Morris, LMFT and Mental Health Correspondent, as she welcomes back special guest, Mike Heady, LCPC. Last week, we started a conversation on better understanding and differentiating Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) from OCD. But the conversation emerged into a greater conversation about how we define obsessions and why that is key to understanding the difference. Mike shares with the OCD Family Community how understanding inferential confusion, a mechanism described within the Inference-Based CBT treatment model, has transformed his understanding between obsessional worry and relevant worry. Curious to hear more!? Join the conversation!
Note: I suspect this will work better when viewed from a smart phone. That being said, here's the picture I shared with Mike that was recently being shared on Social Media and referenced during this episode.
