Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a psychiatric disorder, which makes it a real disease. It is mainly characterized by the presence of obsessions<\/strong>, which can generate anxiety or other unpleasant emotions<\/strong> that generally lead those afflicted by it to put compulsions in place to alleviate these feelings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

THE VOLUME<\/p>\n

The Exercise workbook for overcoming obsessions<\/em> proposes a self-help programme in 16 steps<\/strong> to help those suffering from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder<\/strong> to identify, understand and manage their symptoms in a conscious and functional way.  The effective advice and numerous exercises<\/strong> will guide readers to describe their symptoms, recognize emotional beliefs<\/strong> and dysfunctional thoughts and work on the protective and avoidance behaviours<\/strong> that fuel “their OCD”. The goal is to relieve symptoms and the suffering associated with them, learning to reduce self-criticism and take care of yourself, in order to improve your quality of life.<\/p>\n
