When sexuality and OCD intersect, the clinical picture can become complex quickly.

That’s why I’m pleased to offer a two-part training where I’ll walk clinicians through how obsessive-compulsive disorder and sexual functioning can overlap in ways that are often misunderstood.

Across two sessions, I’ll explore the different ways OCD can influence sexual thoughts, behaviors, and functioning, and I’ll share practical strategies to help clinicians approach these concerns with greater clarity, confidence, and clinical sensitivity.

Day 1 – April 10
Sex & OCD: Exploring the Relationship Between Sexual Functioning, Sexual Themes, and OCD in Adults

Topics include:

• Introduction to ERP theory and treatment
• Intersectionality between sexual themes in OCD and sexual functioning
• Body-focused obsessions and sexual health and responses

Day 2 – April 24
Sexual OCD: Diagnostic Features and Treatment Implications for Adults with S-OCD

Topics include:

• Safety assessment with harm-based themes
• Perinatal and postpartum OCD
• Clinical examples and development of sexually-based exposure hierarchies

These are nuanced clinical issues that many providers encounter but rarely receive training on.
