About this title

Synopsis

Are you spending excessive amounts of time responding to unwanted intrusive thoughts?

Are you exhausted from bearing the heavy weight of an OCD concern?

Have your OCD symptoms taken you off course from where you want to be going in life?

Living with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder can be a confusing experience. Your symptoms can overwhelm you to the point that it's hard to differentiate between events in the real world and the OCD story unfolding in your head. The OCD Travel Guide provides guidance on how to better recognize your OCD symptoms, reduce the influence these symptoms are having over your life, and prioritize your own internal compass over OCD's "misdirection." By drawing from the evidence-based approaches of Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and presenting these strategies in clear and engaging language, the OCD Travel Guide will prove a valuable aid to anyone struggling to find their way in the world while living with OCD.
