An OCD book just for you - full of powerful tools and engaging illustrations to help you live the life you want to live, rather than be controlled by OCD.
Do you have thoughts that seem loud? Do your worries spiral out of control and then suck you in? Do intrusive thoughts show up and make you scared of doing certain things - or not doing things - a certain way? Do you ever get a feeling like something bad might happen? Does this loud stuff make you feel alone, or worse, crazy?
First, you aren't alone - even if it sometimes feels that way. And second, you are not crazy. But you might be struggling with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). And while OCD can be difficult, you don't have to let it have power over you. Instead, you can live a life full of meaning, great relationships and joy with the help of this book.
In Stuff That's Loud, you'll learn Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and ideas from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you break free from loud, spiralling OCD thoughts and behaviours:
- You'll learn to be curious about the world around you
- You'll use willingness to step forwards boldly
- You'll develop flexibility skills to practice everywhere and everywhen
- You'll focus on living a life that you give a $#@! about
Life doesn't have to stay stuck any longer.
'If you're a teen with OCD, reading
Stuff That's Loud is like hanging out with a trusted best friend: someone who's not only been there, done that, but is hip and cool, completely gets you and your struggles, and shares things in a way that you actually find useful. Lisa and Ben have created an empowering and engaging guide that will help teens focus not on what OCD cares about, but what matters to them. Every teen with OCD needs this book!' -
