If you have obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), you might have an irrational fear of being contaminated by germs, or obsessively double-check things. You may even feel like a prisoner, trapped with your intrusive thoughts. And while OCD can have a devastating impact on your life, getting real help can be a challenge.
If you've tried medications without success, it might be time to explore a mindfulness-based approach. Proven-effective in treating OCD and anxiety disorders, mindfulness involves developing an awareness and acceptance of the unwanted thoughts, feelings, and urges that are at the heart of OCD. So, how can you get started?
Combining mindfulness practices with cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), The Mindfulness Workbook for OCD offers practical and accessible tools for managing the unwanted thoughts and compulsive urges that are associated with OCD. With this workbook, you will develop present-moment awareness, learn to challenge your own distorted thinking, and stop treating thoughts as threats and feelings as facts.
This fully revised and updated second edition also includes information about emotional and mental contamination obsessions, violent and self-harm obsessions, gender and sexual obsessions, health-related and food-related obsessions, new meditations for OCD, and more.
If you're ready to take back your life back from OCD--and start living with more joy in the moment--this workbook has everything you need to get started right away.
