Have you ever tried singing your most intrusive OCD thoughts to the tune of “Happy Birthday?” How about saying them in the voice of Donald Duck? Have you ever taken your mind for a walk? Wondering where all this is going? Then this interactive workshop is for you. We will introduce adolescent attendees to the Acceptance & Commitment Therapy concepts of cognitive fusion and defusion as they relate to OCD. Participants will examine how fusion operates in their own lives and gets in the way of them living according to their values. We will have fun experimenting with various defusion techniques and participants will walk away with a new set of tools to help them challenge their OCD.
