Mindfulness and Intrusive Thoughts OCD Webinar
Thursday, May 20, 2021 12:00 pm
- 1:00 pm ET

Intrusive thoughts can create intense anxiety and lead to rumination for those who suffer from them. Mindfulness can be a helpful tool to understand and manage intrusive thoughts. Drs. Kissen & Greene share tips and tools to apply mindfulness to these thoughts. Doing so helps you reduce anxiety and cope with the thoughts in a healthy way.  Mindfulness-based CBT for intrusive thoughts teaches you to view the thoughts with a nonjudgmental, acceptance-based stance. 

The webinar is the second of a two-part series and it is recommended that you watch part one prior to watching part two.

Dr. Kissen and ADAA

"I was lucky enough to do my early practicums under the leadership and guidance of Dr. Karen Cassiday who is now president of ADAA. I learned from Dr. Cassiday that time spent with ADAA is one of the best professional investments that I could make. Through continuing education, professional connections and additional contact with mental health consumers, ADAA is truly my professional home. I have always had a passion for enhancing dissemination of empirically supported treatment protocols to mental health consumers. The public education committee offers a wonderful opportunity to create innovative programming to reach mental health consumers where they are, not just in the treatment room. I hope the future of mental health care delivery will allow for many more opportunities to expand access to mental health care through public education initiatives such as those spearheaded at ADAA."

I became involved with ADAA at the invitation of a former board member and have come to greatly appreciate it. The organization is mission-driven and strives to be a great resource offering quality helpful information to the public as well as mental health professionals.

ADAA, in my opinion, has been an important part of the effort to disseminate evidence-based treatment of anxiety and depression to more and more settings throughout the nation. We can all take pride in these efforts to improve the quality of case available for all.

As a practicing clinical psychologist, I love the annual conference's clinical focus and high quality. It's been a great resource to so many of us as we try to stay as up-to-date as possible on effective treatments for anxiety and depression.

Dr. Paul Greene is the director of the Manhattan Center for Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy in New York City. He received his doctorate in clinical psychology from Boston University and completed postdoctoral training at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and the Mount Sinai School of Medicine. Dr. Greene served as an assistant professor at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine for six years. He is an expert in the treatment of anxiety and related disorders, and the application of mindfulness in cognitive-behavioral clinical interventions.
