Michael Blumberg LCPC: The Limits of Control
“I am working to trade dogma for nuance. I believe it’s for the best.”
Chapter Summary:
Michael Blumberg, L.C.P.C., writes about his work with OCD and what it has taught him about the limits of control. Trained as a CBT therapist, he describes the appeal of clear techniques and protocols, but also the frustration when patients don’t get better. His chapter is a reminder that people can’t be reduced to methods. He argues for flexibility, humility, and a willingness to see patients as more than their symptoms. It’s a personal piece, grounded in both practice and reflection.
