Learning Objectives:
In this workshop, you will learn how to:

  • Identify the issues inherent in some ERP treatment practices for sexual orientation and gender-themed OCD
  • Describe justice-based ERP treatment practices for the treatment of sexual orientation and gender-themed OCD
  • Discuss examples of exposure hierarchies, imaginal exposure scripts, core fears, etc., that will leave clinicians well-equipped to use justice-based ERP with their clients with sexual orientation and gender-themed OCD.

Workshop Description:

Up to 40% of individuals with OCD will experience obsessions about their own sexual orientation or gender identity. Historically, clinicians have been trained to believe that the content of OCD obsessions is irrelevant and that all OCD themes can be treated the same. This blanket approach to ERP risks applying treatment in a way that could further marginalize LGBTQIA+ individuals by reinforcing harmful stereotypes and identity-related stigma. A justice-based approach to ERP ensures that all impacted persons – client, provider, and society – are considered and respected in treatment. This workshop will describe sexual orientation and gender-themed OCD and compare and contrast justice-based ERP with other historical (mis)uses of ERP for these themes. The workshop will provide examples of exposure hierarchies, imaginal exposure scripts, core fears, etc., that will leave clinicians well-equipped to use justice-based ERP with their clients with sexual orientation and gender-themed OCD.
