Clients are often misdiagnosed with a psychiatric disorder when they actually have a medical condition. And patients are often diagnosed with a medical condition without consideration of the psychological/emotional impact on their lives and relationships. Our minds, brains, and bodies are connected. To approach treatment of one aspect without the others taken into account is limited thinking and may actually do more harm than good. This presentation will highlight a number of medical issues that may bring clients to a therapist’s office, as well as several emotional aspects that need to be considered when addressing medical conditions.

Participants will be able to explain the difference between a placebo effect and a nocebo effect. 3. Participants will be able to identify 3 sound sensitivity disorders. 4. Participants will be able to describe 2 useful CBT/DBT strategies for these disorders.
