It's time to break free from mental traps, and take back your life!

If you have obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), you may struggle with mental compulsions--such as ritualistic counting or "emotional checking." You may even believe that these compulsions will reduce your anxiety or prevent something "bad" from happening. But the truth is that mental compulsions can be debilitating, and greatly impact your life, your career, and your relationships. So, how can you break free from this vicious cycle of overthinking?

This workbook offers evidenced-based skills drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness to help you reduce rumination, worry, and other mental traps, so you can live with more freedom and vitality. You'll gain a better understanding of what mental compulsions are, how they differ from obsessions, and how they interfere with your life. You'll also learn proven-effective skills and strategies to help you gain control of your mental compulsions, and guided journaling exercises to help you put these tools into practice.

You don't have to let intrusive thoughts, overthinking, and worry hold you back. This step-by-step workbook will help you reduce the rumination and other mental compulsions that keep you trapped in your mind, so you can finally take charge of your life.
