  3. Four core principles.
  4. Theory review and deeper case discussion.
  5. Outpatient Natural Psychotherapy and group treatment for OCD.

Open the six lectures to watch in order and read each lecture's English notes.

When a concept is unfamiliar

Read natural acceptance and cognition, emotion and action, followed by primary and secondary thinking and two layers of suffering. Sources and related entries appear on each page.

Learning notes serve a different purpose from an individual treatment plan. Diagnosis, treatment choices and medication changes need professional assessment.
