Purchase options and add-ons

You may not know anyone else who suffers from repetitive “stuck” 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.

Free from OCD 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.

This book helps you learn to:

•Notice when thoughts are based in reality and when they’re exaggerated
•Recognize and neutralize situations that trigger your symptoms
•Make friends and feel more confident in social situations
•Use relaxation techniques instead of falling back on your rituals

5.0 out of 5 stars Has been a huge help to us.

If your teen is not suffering from extreme OCD and needs some guidance with relaxation techniques, calming the urges, and breaking the rituals then this book may help. We like the fact that it has both work pages as well as informational pages and stories. Sometimes a worksheet feels overwhelming but a calming read or a page that discusses a target moment can help to calm and refocus my teen. I have also found it quite informative as a parent. Sometimes they cannot tell us how they feel or why they must do something 20 times. This book helps explain the process and how to recognize triggers and irrational fears that can be addressed and "unempowered" as we say in our house. I highly recommend this book if you are looking to work on OCD with your teen.

This is a really good workbook and research-based. I like the layout and the questions/homework. As a child therapist, I use it with all my OCD clients starting at about ages 11 to 18. The only thing I wish was different is that the cover wasn't pink with a girl on it. My adolescent boys aren't very thrilled about this!

Highly recommended for any age. Examples are young for teens and adults but the questions and teachings are great. Walks you through ways to understand and cope with OCD. You get out what you put in.

I would like to be able to write an great review here. But I cannot because being new to OCD I purchased this book for my teenage son. I can read it, but it is an workbook and he can not read it because someone else has touched it and it may be contaminated. Please make this in an mp3 format if possible and I would buy that and give it a try. Thank you. Regards, a struggling father.
