The OCD and Anxiety Workbook -
A CBT and Acceptance-Based Guide to Managing Intrusive Thoughts and Compulsive Behaviours
Are anxious thoughts stealing your peace? Are doubts dictating your actions? Do safety routines dominate your day?
From the author of the much-loved Anxiety Relief, The OCD and Anxiety Workbook is a clear, gentle guide to working with Compassionate Acceptance for managing anxious disturbing thoughts and time-consuming safety behaviours.
Inside, we learn about the mechanics of intrusive thoughts and compulsions - why they happen, what they mean, and how to handle them skilfully.
We meet the brain’s security system - The Zealous Guard, and gain the tools necessary to challenge anxiety’s fearful self-talk with compassionate acceptance, proving to the anxious mind that “we’ve got this.” Eventually, it will agree.
