181. My Response to the Updated IOCF's Treatment Recommendations
Description
In this episode, Carrie responds to the International OCD Foundation’s newly released 2024 treatment guidelines. She offers a therapist’s take on the updates, and what they mean for Christians navigating OCD.
Episode Highlights:
What the IOCDF’s updated 2024 treatment guidelines mean for OCD care, and why this shift matters.
How Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) compares to newer approaches like Inference-Based CBT (ICBT) and metacognitive therapy.
Why faith-based concerns and nervous system sensitivity can make ERP difficult for some Christians with OCD.
Which therapies the IOCDF considers “adjunct,” “second-line,” or “potentially harmful”—and Carrie’s take on that, especially when it comes to EMDR.
How to navigate your treatment choices with discernment, hope, and a plan that fits both your story and your values.
