S4E166: Water Cooler Chat: Barefoot In Seattle: The 31st IOCDF Conference Recap

In this Water Cooler Chat, Nicole is joined by her Seattle roomies and fellow OCD specialists Amanda Petrik-Gardner and Angela Henry to recap the 31st Annual IOCDF Conference.

The trio talks conference highlights, including expanded conversations around OCPD and PANS/PANDAS, the inaugural in-person I-CBT Special Interest Group meeting, evolving evidence-based treatment options, and why bringing clinicians, researchers, families, supporters, and people with lived experience together matters so much.
And because this is the OCD Family Podcast, there are plenty of roommate shenanigans along the way—including one very unexpected, exposure-filled barefoot walk through the streets of Seattle.

Come for the OCD education, stay for the dirty feet.
