Overcoming Compulsive Checking: Free Your Mind from OCD
By Paul Munford
Book Synopsis
Imagine being unable to leave the house without first checking the stove, the faucets, the lock on the door ten, fifteen, twenty times. Even performing the simplest daily routines can be a source of considerable fear and anxiety for someone suffering from one of the most often seen forms of obsessive-complusive disorder, checking.people with compulsive checking engage in these kinds of behaviors to avoid some perceived danger, the looming consequence they fear if they don’t check and recheck and check again the objects of their obsession. Even though compulsive checking can be devastating, research suggests that behavior therapy can enable 75 percent of checkers to significantly reduce or eliminate their symptoms.
While many books offer strategies for treating the whole spectrum of obsessive-compulsive symptoms, this is the first book to apply the proven-effective techniques of cognitive behavioral therapy specifically to overcome checking. Its engaging exercises teach you how to face, embrace, and erase your fears. And when the fears are eliminated there is no further need for compulsions. Chapters further help you to troubleshoot particularly difficult situations and educate family members and loved ones.
