About this listen
Obsessive-compulsive disorder is one of the most common, and debilitating, mental disorders. Though popular media tends to focus on the condition’s zany quirks, OCD manifests in a wide variety of ways, many of which are hidden from view and utterly destructive. Left unchecked, this disease wreaks havoc on lives.
But there is an effective treatment. Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) involves exposure to OCD triggers in a safe environment for increasingly long durations. Nathan Peterson, a clinician who specializes in using ERP to treat OCD, has already helped hundreds of thousands of followers regain control over their lives. Here, he guides readers through the magic of ERP and gives them a framework to maintain and build upon the gains they have made. Readers will learn:
· The inner workings of the OCD loop: intrusive thoughts, anxiety, compulsions, temporary relief, repeat
· The tricks, lies, and sneakiness OCD uses to stay around
· Why all OCD “themes”—from repetitive checking to contamination fears to a fixation on self-harm—play on the same regions of the brain and are treated the same way
· How you can starve your OCD of the attention it needs to survive
· And so much more
Peterson guides readers through the process of recovery, from session one to graduation. He offers actionable steps and accompanying worksheets to help you get better. No matter where you are on your OCD journey, you need this book.
Critic Reviews
"This book will frustrate your OCD. Nathan has taken the essence of what OCD is, of what ERP is, and how to apply ERP to OCD and made it digestible and understandable. You will not need another book on OCD after this one." —Patrick McGrath, author of The OCD Answer Book and Chief Clinical Officer at NOCD
"A good self-help book makes the reader feel like the author is right there with them on the journey. In Your OCD Will Hate This Book Nathan Peterson does this right from the start by directly addressing your skepticism in a truly disarming way. He then clearly and thoughtfully lays out the most effective and evidence-based techniques to change your relationship with OCD through behavior. To make a book feel like a real chat, and then press the point that talking about it just won’t cut it, is to crack the self-help code." —Jon Hershfield, MFT, co-author of The Mindfulness Workbook for OCD director of The Center for OCD and Anxiety at Sheppard Pratt
"Nathan has done something powerful here. He doesn’t just explain OCD. He calls it out. And this is what it takes to take OCD down. The most powerful part of this book is how he exposes OCD’s predictable 'playbook.' Nathan outlines the sneaky, convincing lines OCD feeds you to keep you trapped in doubt and urgency, leaving you feeling understood and empowered. This book is bold, clear, and deeply practical. I’d recommend it to anyone ready to stop negotiating with OCD and start reclaiming their life." —Kimberley Quinlan, LMFT, host of the "Your Anxiety Toolkit" podcast
