Treating Pediatric OCD~ Play Therapy & ERP
Presented by:
Tara Motzenbecker, LMHC, NCSP, Registered Play Therapist™
Research shows us that Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is the most effective treatment for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. ERP involves the client and their parents having to face their fears and engage in very difficult tasks. Play therapy is the perfect compliment to integrate in order to engage and motivate the child and their family members. This training will explore how to use play therapy techniques to help the child make sense of their OCD as well as how to use play therapy to create exposures and rewards. Participants will also be able to share case examples and brainstorm with the group for play therapy exposure ideas.
Learning Objectives
Participants will be able to:
- define OCD and understand how to integrate the most effective treatment method (ERP) into play therapy sessions.
- identify the importance of using play therapy techniques for engaging the child and family in the treatment of OCD.
- list several play therapy techniques for use in Exposure and Response Prevention.
