Yes! Get the book called “The OCD Healing Journey” by Mark DeJesus. This book has tremendously helped me understand what OCD. The way he breaks OCD down into 7 distortions and how when OCD is active, there are 7 distortions at play. It is a really good book especially if you struggle with religious OCD/scrupulosity. If you don’t struggle with religious OCD, that’s okay! It still is a great book to understand OCD in a simple Way & how to heal
@YouarenotyourOCD Great. Thank you for your recommendation. I will look it up

Anyone have any good coping strategies when they have an ocd flare up or attack?
Hello i got this app hoping to maybe find some support for my partner i thought about reddit but reddit has become a hateful place and i figured this is a safe place. i love my partner more than anything and he’s been struggling with OCD his whole life he has a hard time talking about it with anyone because it’s too painful he’s stated that it’s gotten worse as he’s gotten older His biggest issue right now is overwhelming thoughts of his actions having tragic outcomes and being unable to stop these obsessive thoughts (such as needing to check out door handle 5 times to make sure it’s locked but still panicking that it’s unlocked) he’s not open to one on one therapy or meds although he loves learning and watching informative videos i fear he’s afraid to confront his OCD or just afraid nothing will help i really wanna help him live a stress free and happy life he deserves it would anyone possibly have any ways to naturally help with OCD or recommend any great individuals that could share techniques on managing OCD or helping your partner with OCD? i would very much appreciate it!
