The journey to managing OCD symptoms can be a long and difficult one. Although working with a clinician trained in the treatment of OCD (primarily exposure and response prevention therapy – ERP) is always recommended, there are other resources that can make treatment manageable, as well as enhance the therapy experience.
“Your Anxiety Toolkit” is a podcast hosted by Kimberley Quinlan, LMFT
One of those resources is the “Your Anxiety Toolkit Podcast” hosted by Kimberley Quinlan, LMFT. Not only is Kimberley Quinlan trained in the treatment of OCD and anxiety, she is also a Southern California local clinician who is also very active with OCD So Cal! Your Anxiety Toolkit aims to provide you with helpful tools to manage anxiety, stress and other emotions that get in the way.
