I love very detailed books that explain exactly how things work. This book is that. As one example, the book helped me realize that fighting the stress response backfires because once the adrenaline is released, it has to work it’s way through the body for the stress response to be over. I used to freak out each time I felt my anxiety levels rise. Now I just mindfully breathe into it, waiting for it to work it’s course. It’s much more freeing. You definitely still need to work with a therapist, and the authors say so. But this book can definitely be of amazing help on the journey to taking back your life from OCD.
