I-CBT can offer tools and strategies to foster more certainty, understanding, and self-trust.\n\nDISCLAIMER: I-CBT is currently only evidence-based for OCD.\n\nAbout Brittany:\n\nBrittany Goff is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the Clinical Director at Zen Psychological Center, a neuroaffirming OCD practice in Maryland. Additionally, she serves as an Instructor at the Cognitive Behavioral Institute, providing continuing education in Inference-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT) for OCD. She authored the first-ever I-CBT workbook and was one of the first adopters of I-CBT in the United States. She is the first clinician to offer I-CBT training specifically tailored for individuals with Autism and ADHD, a neuroaffirming approach to treating OCD.\n\nFacebook groups:\n\nI-CBT & Neurodivergence\n\nI-CBT & Neurodivergence Community\n\nTraining in I-CBT: icbtonlinelearning.com\n\n\nWaitlist for training on how to adapt I-CBT for neurodivergence\n\nI-CBT Workbook\n\nZen Psychological Center: zenpsychologicalcenter.com\n\n\n\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\n\ud83c\udf99\ufe0fListen to more episodes of the Divergent Conversations Podcast\n\ud83c\udf99\ufe0fSpotify\n\ud83c\udf99\ufe0fApple\n\ud83c\udf99\ufe0fYouTube Music\n\u25b6\ufe0f YouTube\n\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\n\nThanks to Our Sponsors: Resilient Mind Counseling & Learning Nook\n\n\u2728Resilient Mind Counseling\nResilient Mind Counseling is a neurodivergent-affirming therapy and medication management practice operated all throughout North Carolina.
