A wonderful, interactive book that integrates an inspiring personal account of recovery from OCD, key elements of the evidence-based treatment for OCD (i.e. Exposure and Response Prevention), and additional helpful features. Charlotte presents a brave, honest, and motivating guide to recovery. -- Dr Amita Jassi, Consultant Clinical Psychologist and Dr Zoe Kindynis, Clinical Psychologist, National & Specialist OCD, BDD and Related Disorders Clinic Charlotte has created an innovative, informative and inspiring diary. It delves into her personal journey of living with and fighting OCD, whilst providing vital self-help exercises which will complement the work that people experience whilst going through one of the gold standard treatments for OCD - Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with Exposure and Response Prevention therapy (ERP). We are really excited to see the impact this new supportive guide will have on the lives of those affected by this cruel condition. -- Olivia Bamber, Youth Service and Communications Manager, OCD ActionMore details
