A compassionate guide to help you manage OCD symptoms, overcome feelings of shame and stigma, and revitalise your life!

If you're one of millions who suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), you're all too familiar with feelings of anxiety, panic, shame, and uncertainty. In addition, the stigma associated with OCD can make you feel unworthy of receiving the compassion and kindness you need and deserve. You may even experience unwanted intrusive thoughts that result in harsh self-judgementβ€”which can actually hinder your recovery and lead to additional mental health problems. So, how can you break this destructive cycle and start feeling better?

The Self-Compassion Workbook for OCD outlines a step-by-step programme to help you understand the emotional experience of OCD, and develop the tools you need to manage your disorder and build a better life. Drawing on a powerful combination of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), exposure and response prevention (ERP), and compassion-focused therapy (CFT), this breakthrough guide will teach you how to balance intense emotions, lean into your fear, and focus on recovery. Over time, you'll learn to replace self-judgement with kindness and self-compassion, so you can stop suffering and start thriving.

Living with OCD can be extremely challenging, but it doesn't have to rob you of your self-worth. You are so much more than your disorder! Let this book be your guide to discovering, supporting, and loving the best you that you can be.
