The ACT Workbook for OCD: Mindfulness, Acceptance, and Exposure Skills to Live Well with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

I have found this workbook to be an amazing addition to therapy for clients learning to build a new relationship with OCD. The writer is compassionate and clear in her approach, and builds the skills necessary to manage exposure. I recommend this resource to friends with OCD and therapists who work with clients with OCD. Honestly, while it's geared to working with OCD, it could really be helpful for anyone with anxiety, or even OCD like symptoms.

This workbook is great! I've not only used it with a client but I've used parts of it for myself! Lol

I have severe OCD and have tried many different workbooks. This is by far the best. It combines many different tools to give you a well-balanced approach to tackling OCD. The tools in this book can also be effectively applied to any anxiety disorder. I highly recommend it!

As a practitioner who specializes in work with OCD, I found this book to be well balanced in information related to ACT and ERP. The workbook is structured so it's easy to use and the exercises further enhance the user's application of the skills. Overall, I appreciated the fluid integration of value-based living, mindfulness, and more traditional ERP skills. This workbook would make a nice complement to psychotherapeutic treatment or could serve as a starting place if treatment isn't accessible for someone with OCD.

I have read many books about OCD, tried several techniques, and I have to say this is by far the most practical workbook I have found. The author is exceptional, and she is compassionately tuned in to how the OCD mind operates. I use her cognitive defusion and other helpful techniques all the time. They are highly effective and I cannot recommend them enough! If I am having a particularly difficult day, all I have to do is pick up this book and refresh the skills I have learned. Then I feel so much better once again in my grounded and peaceful mind.

Easily understood and practiced. Helps you to think about what's valuable in life. Good work for OCD. Maybe some more on real event OCD needed

I enjoyed learning some of the things I could relate to and that was helpful. However, I found this to be very confusing, because I am learning more about ocd. If I were in medical school, a physician or in the mental health field, I would probably understand better. I found most of it too clinically written.

I was blessed to be able to here the author speak at the IOCDF conference. This book summerizes the key points of her talk very well and is an excellent tool for those starting with ACT as a way of confronting anxiety.

Have used many exercises in this book for myself and my clients (as a therapist). So far I really enjoy what the authors have included from ACT and ERP. Recommend to anyone with OCD or therapists.

Gutes Buch

I’m a counsellor and use this book with clients. Excellent and it works

Gli esercizi sono troppi semplici e anche le attività di mindfulness non mi sono state d'aiuto

The book is exceptionally knowledgeable and empathetic. It really helps you to understand your OCD better. Highly recommended.
