Coping with OCD: Practical Strategies for Living Well with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Paperback – June 1, 2008

This book has been most helpful when I cant get out of my thoughts. For anyone suffering from intrusive thoughts its extremely exhausting and depressing. My mind never stops going and I have always been a fearful person since i was a kid. To help me deal with the scary thoughts I always use my imagination to help me escape the fear and panic. I constantly have scary thoughts and images and I always thought i was a alone. My thoughts lead me to have major panic attacks and sometimes I cant sleep. I love this book because its very easy to read and I finally have some real tools to help me deal with my thoughts. I like how they say to not fight your thoughts. Its true the harder I fight the worse I get. An example "while i dont like this thought, i fully accept it being there," doing this causes some anxiety but it helps me to let it go easier. Its so simple but harder to do. I also like that they say we are not bad people if we suffer from intrusive thoughts. Anything that is dear to my heart especially my faith in Jesus Ocd attacks it. I suffer from scrupulosity and i love how the authors remind me that I am not a bad person! This book has been my go to whenever I have relapses in my recovery. I was reading several chapters today reminding myself to breathe, accept the thoughts and know that I'm not a bad person. Thanks to the authors for writing an easy to read book for those who suffer from intrusive thoughts!

I have been seeking answers to some hard questions I have had about myself and about OCD from mental health clinicians without any greater success. This book gave me a whole new perspective on life and reassured me that I am not alone, even if the specific kind of OCD might be rare. I cannot explain how grateful I am. Thank you!

A very Practical guide helping people suffering with this condition to learn new strategies to cope with OCD.

Useful tool in writing a paper on the subject of OCD.

Accomadating the OCD person is not my aim. They already have too much of that. I would prefer to read about how normal people can lead a normal life when forced to live with the OCD who will never really change.

Our 16-year-old daughter has OCD, and a therapist at a leading university recommended this book to us. We've read other books, but this is the best we've seen. Comprehensive, practical, and easy to read.

It's a nice read.
