Synopsis

The Complete OCD Workbook delivers a new action-oriented approach that combines CBT, ERP, and mindfulness strategies to effectively take control of OCD.

OCD manifests in many forms, but the only solution for treatment is to take action. Applying proven therapeutic strategies to actionable exercises, The Complete OCD Workbook arms you with the tools you need to fight obsessive thoughts and compulsions, and take your life back from OCD.

Designed for various types of OCD, from "Pure" (thoughts only) to compulsive behaviors, this workbook combines CBT, ERP, and mindfulness strategies into a step-by-step method for confronting intrusive thoughts and behaviors. Tracking your progress through reflective questionnaires and journal entries, The Complete OCD Workbook offers a supportive, self-paced framework to free yourself from OCD.

The Complete OCD Workbook includes:

• An essential introduction that provides an overview of the primary treatment methods such as CBT, ERP, and mindfulness.
• Actionable exercises that use questionnaires, checklists, and reflective prompts to provide a hands-on and personalized approach to treating OCD.
• Real stories that offer support throughout your journey to healing, from patients who understand and have overcome struggles associated with OCD.

OCD is determined―it doesn’t give up easily. But you have the determination to challenge it, and that is the first of many successes you’ll discover in The Complete OCD Workbook.
