Challenging Obsessions by Practicing Exposure (COPE)
Description:
This treatment group runs for 1.5 hours weekly on Thursday afternoons from 3 – 4:30pm.
Group size is between 6-10 members.
The group is structured to provide three components, roughly divided into half-hour segments:
1. Psychoeducation about OCD and discussion of OCD-related prompts brought by facilitators and group members.
2. Values-based goal-setting for an exposure each member will commit to complete over the course of the week and report back about. Feedback and guidance will be provided by facilitators. This time is also used to check-in about the goal from the previous week. (Exposures are not intentionally conducted during group time unless specifically requested by member and approved by facilitators ahead of time).
3. Informal socialization amongst group members to build community support and receive additional feedback as desired from facilitators.
Screenings for the group are free. Please reach out to Dr. Schlierf to schedule a screening. Aetna and United insurance may be used. Private pay cost is $60 per session.
Link will be provided after you have completed your free screening session
