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

Hi everyone, recently diagnosed with OCD when I retired from teaching after 35 years. been with NOCD Since August 2023with a great therapist but still at the 2 appt per week stage, have a difficult time with intrusive thoughts popping up throughout the day and with sitting with uncertainty while doing my homework- rumination is the biggest issue for me while doing homework. Will be turning 65 in February and having some issues with Medicare so I may have to stop treatment. I had seen a post in which someone recommended a book or workbook about OCD that really helped that person. I think the authors first name was Brian. I will ask my therapist on Monday, but if anyone has any recommendations, I would really like to know. I’m using my non engagements responses and telling OCD ‘ I see you but I don’t have time for you today’ etc and working hard to move on with the day. Thanks.
What books, links, articles do you reference to build knowledge and awareness about OCD?
Hey everyone! So I’m currently looking for any books that might have helped you in this ocd journey. I’m currently reading untethered soul is really good. I am really in that phase that no matter how scary ocd can be I’m ready to overcome it. I’m not letting it defeat me like it has for years. I would appreciate your recommendations.
Does anyone have any good book recommendations with characters who have OCD? I know Turtles All The Way Down is a very popular choice, and I do love the book as well as John Green himself, but I would love more options. I am also open to nonfiction book recommendations about varying topics around OCD (such as how to better handle OCD, the authors experience with OCD firsthand, understanding the inner workings of OCD, and more).
