Exposure for Anxiety and PTSD

I am DBT therapist, and find it highly effective for the the populations which it is evidence-based for treating.

Also, for anxiety disorders, including OCD related disorder alone, I would use an evidence-based exposure treatment.

18% of therapists have been trained in Prolonged Exposure for PTSD and 12% for other anxiety disorders. Marsha Linehan discusses in this video:
