When someone with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) also has food allergies (or is a caregiver to someone with food allergies) the food allergies can become a focus for the OCD symptoms. In typical OCD treatment obsessions are often addressed with Exposure Response Prevention (ERP). ERP involves the person putting themselves in triggering situations so that they can practice tolerating the distress without the use of their compulsions. However, food allergy management requires a person to avoid their allergens in order to stay safe. This lecture will help clinicians understand the basics of both food allergy management and Exposure Response Prevention as well as how to modify ERP to accommodate OCD symptoms around food allergies in a safe and effective way. Participants will also learn more about the ways that these two conditions can interact so they can successfully support clients struggling with this particular manifestation of OCD symptoms.

We all know we are going to die, but the when and the how are unknown. While many causes of death are due to preventable injury, the majority of death is caused by medical related factors such as cancer, stroke, heart disease, and Alzheimer’s to name a few. We often head to Dr. Google with our symptoms where we read that our headache can be caused by dehydration or possibly a brain tumor. Of course, we assume the worst. It is no wonder humans experience excessive health-related fears based on misperceptions of innocent bodily cues and sensations. Generally, we refer to these worries as Health Anxiety, however we are really talking about two different diagnoses: Illness Anxiety Disorder and Somatic Symptom Disorder. In this talk you will learn the difference between the two diagnoses and how to treat them using effective techniques.

All people experience needs to regulate their emotions throughout everyday life. Some of our strategies may be more useful than others, but sometimes lack of either awareness or practice of different emotion regulation strategies is a barrier to exploring more effective ways at regulating our emotions without ignoring them. This presentation will cover: the process model of emotion generation and emotion regulation; how to use the process model to identify various places to regulate emotions; past research on two emotion regulation strategies: suppression and rethinking; practice utilizing the rethinking strategy; create a “plan to practice” an active emotion regulation strategy; suggestions for using the model in practice and ways of helping patients practice and self-monitor their emotion regulation effectiveness. Teaching patients the process model of emotions and emotion regulation can provide an empowering framework for organizing and suggesting emotion regulation strategies. Attendees will also practice one emotion regulation strategy “rethinking” – and generate ways to aid their patients in practicing this strategy to add to a toolbelt.

This talk focuses on the role of parental behaviors in childhood anxiety and OCD. Highlighting the prevalence and comorbidity of these problems in children, the presentation underscores the importance of reducing family accommodation—a common parental response to a child’s anxiety that often exacerbates symptoms. SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) focuses on increasing parental support while decreasing accommodating behaviors, aiming to foster a child’s independence and confidence. The talk will provide an introduction to the rationale, evidence-base, and key steps of SPACE treatment.
