Dr Michael Greenberg: OCD as a defense mechanism (Ep489)

In episode 489 I chat with Dr Michael Greenberg. Michael is a clinical psychologist who specialises in Rumination-Focused ERP (RF-ERP). 

We discuss an update on Michael, rumination-focused exposure and response prevention therapy (RF-ERP), OCD as a defense mechanism, a psychoanalytical view of OCD, digesting feelings, some different psychological defenses, attachment and early experiences, clinical examples of his point, how we are all humans that bring human experiences to our relationships, a compassionate view on parenting, and much more.
