Your Neurotype Matters
If you are someone who identifies as neurodivergent, traditional models such as Exposure and Response Prevention therapy (ERP) and Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT) may not always be effective and can, in fact, cause harm when not adapted to your neurotype.
Emerging research highlights an important difference: individuals with sensory processing differences often do not habituate to anxiety the way neurotypical individuals do. Forcing repeated exposure without considering sensory needs or cognitive style can intensify anxiety rather than reduce it.
As an OCD therapist with nearly a decade of experience, I’ve seen the negative impact that unadapted, neurotypical treatment models can have on neurodivergent clients. That’s why I developed an adapted, neuroaffirming version of Inference-Based CBT. This approach respects neurodivergent ways of thinking and processing while still addressing the core cognitive distortions and inferential confusion that drive OCD.
This version of I-CBT is designed to be both effective and affirming. It supports you in navigating obsessive doubts without compromising your sensory boundaries, communication preferences, or cognitive identity.
The Course
This self-guided course will walk you through the Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT) treatment manual, along with specific adaptations tailored to your neurotype. It takes into account sensory differences and other traits related to your neurodivergence. The approach is non-pathologizing and helps you understand how certain features of your neurotype can actually contribute to the creation of OCD stories.
