In this episode, Carrie revisits her past conversation with psychotherapist and author Ingrid Ord about acceptance and commitment therapy, this time adding the insights she's gained from five more years of working directly with OCD.  Episode Highlights: Why avoiding anxiety just makes it spread wider and wider, and what psychotherapist Ingrid Ord says actually happens once you stop arguing with the thought Carrie's own take on why OCD therapy often misses attachment wounds Where ACT hits a wall for moderate to severe OCD, and which evidence based tools Carrie says have to fill that gap The backpack and purple man metaphor Ingrid uses with clients, carrying anxiety along with you instead of wrestling it into submission What Ingrid's book, Act With Faith, offers Christian clients and therapists, and why people far outside her original audience have picked it up Explore the Empowered Mind: Christian ICBT for OCD: https://carriebock.com/training/  Carrie's services and courses: carriebock.com/services/                                                        carriebock.com/resources/ Follow us on Instagram: www.instagram.com/christianfaithandocd/ and like our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/christianfaithandocd for the latest updates and sneak peeks.
