Well, the time has come again for the annual Obsessive Compulsive Foundation Conference. This year it begins Friday morning. My coauthor, Bruce Hyman, Ph.D. and I will be one of the first speakers. After our presentation we will be signing copies of our book, The OCD Workbook, Your Guide to Breaking Free from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.
The title of our presentation is "The 8 Keys to Recovery." These keys include proper diagnosis, understanding OCD, acceptance, shame control, family support, medication, cognitive-behavior therapy and preparation for the long haul.
After our book signing, Dr. Hyman and I will be free to enjoy the rest of the conference. If you attend my presentation or see me wandering around, introduce yourself. I would love to meet some of my readers! I'll even give you a special sticker so we can all easily find fellow Suite101 people in the crowd. Let's go with a smiling flower sticker.
This year's conference promises to be a great one. There will be something for everyone - professionals who treat people with OCD, children, teenagers and adults with OCD, and parents and other family members. Read about the conference at http://ocfoundation.org/ocf1120b.htm
