Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how OCD manifests beyond common stereotypes, including presentations such as harm, contamination, symmetry, and intrusive taboo obsessions. The session also introduces the foundational principles of Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard, evidence-based treatment for OCD. Attendees will leave with a clearer framework for identifying OCD patterns and an introductory understanding of how ERP supports recovery.\n\n\n\n\Details:\nAdam Brandt, Ph.D. holds a Master of Science in Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Dayton and a Doctor of Philosophy in Counseling and Counselor Education from North Carolina State University. He has clinical experience working with college students, adults, and teenagers. His clinical expertise is in obsessive-compulsive disorder, existential issues, and psycho-spiritual concerns. Adam's research interests include Buddhist psychology and the intersection of faith and multicultural development. He is also the recipient of the 2022 ASERVIC Research Award. In his free time, Adam enjoys running, cycling, trying to get better at guitar, and perfecting his morning ritual–making coffee.\Location:\nZOOM\n\n,
