The Mindfulness Workbook for OCD by Jon Hershfield

Product Details

About the Book

If you have obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), you might have an irrational fear of being contaminated by germs, or obsessively double-check things — you may even feel like a prisoner, trapped with your own intrusive thoughts. And while OCD can have a devastating impact on your life, getting real help can be a challenge. Combining mindfulness practices with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), The Mindfulness Workbook for OCD offers practical and accessible tools for managing the unwanted thoughts and compulsive urges associated with OCD.

Through this workbook, readers develop present-moment awareness, learn to challenge their own distorted thinking, and stop treating thoughts as threats and feelings as facts. Rather than suggesting that meditation alone can make the condition disappear, the book ties acceptance directly into exposure, framing compulsions as a form of resistance to the discomfort of obsessions rather than a path to peace, and encourages readers to observe thoughts and feelings without becoming entangled in them. This fully revised and updated second edition includes new meditations, information, and chapters on emotional and mental contamination, existential obsessions, false memories, and more — offering readers a way to take their life back from OCD and start living with more presence and joy.

Critical and Reader Reception

The book has been praised by leading clinicians in the field: Lee Baer, PhD, clinical professor of psychology at Harvard Medical School, called it a valuable addition to the self-help library of all OCD sufferers and those who treat OCD, presenting state-of-the-art information for incorporating effective mindfulness techniques into OCD treatment. Robin Zasio, PsyD, LCSW, described it as by far the best addition to her resource library and referral list, and Jonathan S. Abramowitz, PhD, professor of psychology and neuroscience at UNC Chapel Hill, called the authors the authorities when it comes to applying mindfulness and meditation strategies to managing OCD. Readers with OCD themselves have described the book as shockingly helpful, insightful, educational, and practical.
