Can someone recommend a good book on OCD?

[Maxman]

OCD has been troubling me a lot recently. It's serving as a huge obstacle in anything I try to do. I'd really like a book that helps me understand OCD better at a deeper level and provides ways/techniques to deal with OCD.

I don't know about any specific book on OCD. But I know meditation and mindfulness in general can really help.

Especially try to be more mindful of how you feel in your body whenever there's a compulsion. Also check out Leo's video on Letting Go.

Good luck!

I would recommend Brain Lock by Jeffrey M. Schwartz if your looking for a book. I personally fixed my ocd with self hypnosis, which means I listened to a recording I bought online every day for 4 weeks until things started to get a lot better and I fully came back in control, the effects just kept coming after that without even listening to it.

Can you share the link of the recording?
