• Used Book in Good Condition

<div><p>You may not know anyone else who suffers from repetitive €œstuck€ thoughts and compulsive rituals, but plenty of other teens experience symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD): the need to repeatedly wash their hands, check to make sure everything€s okay, count possessions, put things in order, or even repeat thoughts over and over. Rituals like these may calm you down when you€re feeling stressed or anxious, but you know all too well that the relief is temporary and you€ll have to repeat the ritual when you start feeling uneasy again. This cycle can make you feel trapped, but also may seem impossible or even frightening to break.</p> <p><em>Free from OCD</em> offers forty easy cognitive behavioral exercises to help you move past your symptoms and live freely and flexibly, without fear. You€ll finally be able to stop compulsive thoughts in their tracks and keep them from coming back.</p> <p>This book helps you learn to:</p> €Notice when thoughts are based in reality and when they€re exaggerated<br> €Recognize and neutralize situations that trigger your symptoms<br> €Make friends and feel more confident in social situations<br> €Use relaxation techniques instead of falling back on your rituals<br> </div>
