About this title

Synopsis

Find your own path to healing with this engaging guide—packed with both evidence-based and unconventional approaches to help you manage OCD and take back your life!

If you have obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), you may become frustrated with inflexible and overly complicated treatments, and struggle with feelings of failure when these treatments don’t work. You aren’t alone. If you’re tired of “therapy speak” and dense, clinical treatment sessions, maybe it’s time to think outside the box.

With this engaging toolbox, you’ll be able to pick and choose what works for you—including techniques drawn from Buddhism, existential therapy, and even stand-up comedy! When OCD Treatment Doesn't Work also offers a comprehensive set of skills grounded in evidence-based exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy, internal family systems therapy (IFS), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) that you can use as needed to find lasting relief from intrusive thoughts, compulsions, and mental obsessions.

If you’ve tried traditional OCD treatment but still haven’t found relief, this book provides a customizable approach to help you manage your specific symptoms and improve your life. Why not pick it up and discover what works best for you?
