Synopsis

If you have obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), you may feel like you have to follow a rigid set of rules to successfully get through your day. And if you're like many others, your OCD rule list may look something like this: You must always control your internal experiences; The presence of any anxiety means you are in danger; You alone are responsible if you fail to prevent harm; Pay attention to every single thought you have; Always keep your OCD hidden from others!

These rules can keep you feeling stuck, anxious, and unable to move forward in your life. This book will help you break ALL your OCD rules, and will help you understand why that's a good thing.

Written by an OCD expert, and grounded in evidence-based exposure and response prevention therapy (ERP), this book addresses the seven most common rules that people with OCD create for themselves, and shows you how to break each one—so you can find freedom from the repetitive thoughts, compulsions, and shame they generate. With practice, you'll be able to move beyond your OCD symptoms and behaviors.

If you're ready to toss the OCD rulebook aside and start living with more freedom than ever before, this book can help you step by step.

Thanks to NetGalley for an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest opinion! I've had OCD for as long as I can remember, have been on meds for years, and have been through a few years on therapy. As I result, I feel at least mildly qualified to review this book. It definitely echoes a lot of what I......more

Goodreads review by Panda on December 11, 2023

This book about living with OCD is written in a very conversational style, and it explains complex concepts in simple ways, without bogging down in scientific details that may not appeal to the average reader. The author covers a wide variety of different sub-types, which I appreciated, and in addit......more

Goodreads review by Regan on March 07, 2024

As a therapist specializing in OCD treatment and a sufferer myself, I have read many books on this topic. This may be one of the most thorough and well organized titles of the bunch! Rockwell-Evans does a fantastic job balancing the use of narrative examples, clinical information, and practical exer......more

Goodreads review by Abi on September 26, 2023

I LOVE this book. It speaks to the reader as an actual human being, unlike many other books on OCD that I have read. As someone who has suffered with OCD for over 20 years, I am well aware that there is no quick fix to this mental health condition and this book really helps the reader to understand......more
