Managing OCD with mindfulness―break the cycle of intrusive thoughts and live more peacefully

People living with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) struggle with unwanted intrusive thoughts and urges that cause anxiety and distress. This mindfulness workbook teaches techniques to help you acknowledge those thoughts and relate to the physical symptoms of anxiety in a new way.

With this interactive mindfulness workbook, you'll find exercises to help ground yourself in the present moment, plan mindfulness-based exposure to your triggers, and explore more productive language to describe how you feel. You'll learn how to disengage from distressing thoughts―which can help calm the urge to engage in compulsive behavior.

This mindfulness workbook features:

• 7 Pillars of mindfulness―Every chapter focuses on one of the pillars of mindfulness: Beginner's Mind, Non-judgment, Acceptance, Patience, Trust, Non-striving, and Letting Go―with specific exercises for working on each one.
• 10-20 Minutes per day―These mindfulness workbook exercises only take a short time, so it's easy and practical to build them into your life.
• Encouragement and guidance―With supportive words, helpful advice, and space for personal reflection, you'll gradually move through techniques for a variety of intrusive thoughts.
