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.
