Hey guys I'm one of the episode 2006 of the OCD Stories.

Podcast. In this episode I interviewed Dr. Patricia Zorita Ono.

Patricia is a psychologist and director of East Bay Behavior Therapy Center and today I've her on to talk about her new book

the Act Work Book for Teens of A. C. D. Now I was honored to be asked to write the

forward for this book and the book is now live if you wanted to check it out. So I wanted

to get her on to talk about acceptance commitment therapy and how she uses

that with children and adolescents affected by OCD,

and also how she brings it into her exposure response prevention or ARP work

she does with those kids and teens.

So in this episode we talk about what is Act, how she uses it with children and teens, how she uses act with E.R.P. together, how they enhance one another, values-based exposures, this idea of the

choice point, willingness and therapy. We talk about the new book specifically, living with certainty,

words are

hope, and much, much more.

Now, obviously, the episode is focused on children and teens.

However, a lot of the questions are answered,

which with answers, I believe, applicable to all ages ages so I think you'll find something in it

So thank you to Patricia and thank you to you guys for listening and without further ado here she is
