The Thinking Mind Podcast: Psychiatry & Psychotherapy
Interview #47: When Anxiety gets Severe (with Lisa Williams at the Anxiety Disorders Residential Unit)
This week Alex meets with Lisa, a CBT therapist at the Anxiety Disorders Residential Unit.
The ADRU specialises in severe cases of anxiety conditions such as social anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). The patients at the ADRU undergo an intensive 12 to 16 week residential programme with the goal of helping them understand their condition and develop better coping strategies to help manage their condition in their day-to-day lives.
Alex and Lisa discuss how the ADRU works, what a patient there is likely to expect, the value of cognitive behaviour therapy as well as compassion focused therapy, the role of trauma in these conditions and how these conditions can be viewed holistically.
