Proven effective techniques for managing obsessive thoughts We all have unusual thoughts from time to time. For example, an image like this comes to our mind; We may suddenly drive our car in the wrong direction in oncoming traffic, or we may pick up the knife we used to prepare dinner and use it to harm someone we love. Most of us pay no attention to such thoughts, but some of us are constantly preoccupied with them. What if I cause an accident? What if I hurt someone in my care?

If you can't get rid of violent, unpleasant, or blasphemous thoughts no matter how hard you try, this book can help you. Such obsessive thoughts may be symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Whether you have been diagnosed with OCD or have undiagnosed thoughts like these, the safe and effective techniques in this book can help you regain peace of mind.

Your process of managing obsessive thoughts begins with exploring why obsessive thoughts persist and the ways professionals use to treat them. You also learn to make sense of your own obsessive thoughts – what triggers these thoughts and what you are currently doing to cope with them. The book will then guide you through a series of safe and controlled confrontation exercises that will help you manage your obsessive thoughts and limit their negative impact on your quality of life.
