Aprašymas

Say No to OCD teaches you how to reject-rather than resist-compulsions and to break free from the OCD cycle. While many books focus on building exposure to help face fears, this book teaches you how to refuse to engage with OCD.

Instead of seeing intrusive thoughts as the problem, it presents compulsions as the obstacle to be overcome. Rather than starting with exposure-which may reinforce OCD compulsions-the author uses her decades of experience, blending tough love and humor, to explain how to reject compulsions, even when the urge is overwhelming. The book provides the tools, terminology, and mindset necessary to unlearn the lies we tell ourselves about OCD and its connection to values, logic, triggers, and motivations. Learning to reject compulsions provides a strong basis for successful exposure and response prevention, acceptance and commitment therapy, or cognitive behavioral therapy. Tips for supporters of those with OCD are included in every chapter and a chapter is provided for supporters specifically.

This book is for everyone who wants to say "no" to OCD and anyone wishing to support their loved one or client with OCD. It is also valuable for those studying psychology, mental health, counseling, or social work who want to understand the lived experience of OCD.
