Learn moreIf you have obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), you may feel like you have to follow a rigid set of rules to successfully get through your day. And if you're like many others, your OCD rule list may look something like this: You must always control your internal experiences; The presence of any anxiety means you are in danger; You alone are responsible if you fail to prevent harm; Pay attention to every single thought you have; Always keep your OCD hidden from others!
These rules can keep you feeling stuck, anxious, and unable to move forward in your life. This book will help you break ALL your OCD rules, and will help you understand why that's a good thing.
Written by an OCD expert, and grounded in evidence-based exposure and response prevention therapy (ERP), this book addresses the seven most common rules that people with OCD create for themselves, and shows you how to break each one—so you can find freedom from the repetitive thoughts, compulsions, and shame they generate. With practice, you'll be able to move beyond your OCD symptoms and behaviors.
If you're ready to toss the OCD rulebook aside and start living with more freedom than ever before, this book can help you step by step.

If you've watched TV at all in the past ten years, you've definitely seen her face and heard her voice countless times in any number of wildly successful national, global, and Super Bowl commercials, as well as playing the first blond Vulcan in Star Trek history. The daughter of two English professors, Natasha Soudek was raised in the South, speaks native German, lived in Berlin and Vienna, and finally settled in the Lower East Side of New York City as a teenager. After honing her stage presence by studying acting and playing hundreds of sold-out live music shows (singing and playing bass), she moved to LA to record with Channel/DreamWorks and act on TV. Favored on KCRW, Chris Douridas compared her voice and songwriting to the Beatles' Let it Be in meaning and soulfulness . . . qualities that translate especially well into her career as an audiobook narrator. Her voice is as distinct and memorable as the range of characters she's played on-screen, which gives listeners an immediate familiarity to connect to, along with a warmth and intimacy that spans and uplifts any genre.
