About this deal

My therapist recommended this book to me when I was first diagnosed with OCD and it has been very helpful. Chapter 7 helps you understand your anxious feelings, as understanding anxiety is an important first step in recovering from your OCD. Like all new skills it will involve practice and you will have to repeat tasks until you learn more about your OCD and your worries lessen.

The book takes readers through the treatment of OCD in logical manner, making it really easy to follow an understand for young people and their parents. An extensive and practical guide to overcoming OCD through CBT We all occasionally worry that we might have left the gas on or the window open, not washed our hands thoroughly or forgotten to lock the front door. Most of our PDFs are also available to download and we're working on making the final remaining ones downloadable now. To get a score that will indicate how much the compulsions are interfering in your life, simply add up the numbers that you have circled for each of these questions.

Obsessive worries can be a drain on daily life, but this practical guide, written by three leading Cognitive Behavioural Therapy experts, enables you to make sense of your symptoms, and gives a simple plan to help you conquer OCD. Chloe was very worried about germs, and wanted to wash all of her cutlery and plates before she used them.

The book is, I feel, an invaluable step-by-step guide for young people and their families as well as being an excellent resource for the counsellor/therapists. I recommend trying to read up-to-date resources as well if you are looking to do the self-directed program. Like another listener I am trying to locate the PDFs for this title that are referred to throughout the book.If you’re looking for help on how to cope, healing and grow your faith in the midst of an OCD overwhelmed life, open the pages of this encouraging book; for through the author’s personal experiences you will discover how to implement scripture and encouragement into your day-to-day life and how to utilize your OCD in a positive way. This guide also enables friends and family to understand why OCD can be so difficult, and how they can support someone to tackle it.

Moreover, the proposed exposure does not address the INTERPRETATION/APPRAISAL of the thought - and this is exactly what maintains the problem for this person. Generally people think OCD is all about Physical Behavior (Washing, counting, checking) and Neglect another Form of OCD. Whether you are compelled to wash your hands more and more thoroughly or feel the need to keep checking that you've turned off appliances, obsessive worries can be a drain on daily life. There is a question-and-answer section, which will give you advice on how to overcome any problems that you may encounter when trying to make progress. Also, the ACT approach (described in the book) could be quite helpful in stripping the intrusion of its original significance.

OCD impacts on the lives of the whole family, especially those that love and care for people with OCD. Many readers have opened the pages of this beautifully candid, honest, inspirational and humorous book, only to find parts of their lives mirrored within the explanations, thoughts and experiences of the author. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. Now that I have a better understanding of how it works, I was able to explain the disease to my family, who of course were still adamant that “it’s all in my head”. I’m extraordinarily grateful for the help and support during a challenging time, both to the Anxiety UK and my Professional Institute, The Chartered Institute of Building and their respected benevolent fund.
