Group I: Cognitive Rehabilitation and Exposure-based Class for CompulsiExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Cognitive training is to improve thinking by learning new skills and strategies. The class begins with cognitive training to increase ability to carry out the skills learned later in treatment.
Exposure therapy for discarding and acquiring helps to improve ability to make choices about possessions and learn to tolerate anxiety. Participants will face making difficult choices about items and potentially letting them go. Through repeated exposure to decisions about discarding and acquiring, distress about letting go or making choices about items will decrease over time.
