While ERP is often presented as a standardized, prescriptive 12–15 session protocol, clinicians frequently encounter patients whose recovery is stalled by deep-seated clinical complexities. This problem exists because the "nuts and bolts" of treatment often fail to account for how trauma, all-or-nothing thinking, and "powering through" anxiety can actually function as subtle forms of emotional avoidance. This lecture will provide clinicians with a framework to recognize when the "perfect" execution of treatment has itself become an obsession. By attending, clinicians will learn to move beyond a manualized mindset and gain tools to navigate the complicated human factors—such as perfectionism and informed trauma—that require a more flexible, nuanced application of ERP.

Clinicians working with individuals who experience anxiety about their bodies often face unique challenges in treatment. These challenges arise not only from the physical nature of the client’s experience but also from internalized faulty beliefs about the body and mind, shaped by sociocultural factors and distorted thinking patterns. Without addressing these underlying influences, treatment can be ineffective or even counterproductive. In this presentation, clinicians will learn to identify, conceptualize, and treat body-based obsessions using a transdiagnostic approach. Attendees will gain practical, evidence-based strategies to uncover feared consequences, challenge maladaptive beliefs, and improve treatment outcomes for clients struggling with body-focused anxiety
