As a sufferer of OCD I'd recently lapsed again due to a significant bereavement. Whilst I have been receiving cbt treatment , I wanted a book that would focus specifically on OCD. After seeing Jon on a you tube video for 'OCD stories', I felt as though he really understood the nature of OCD and so bought his book.
I'd pretty much thought I'd exhausted most of ocds more common themes yet I became highly distressed at the thought of a certain song coming into my head. I panicked and fought so hard to rid the lyrics. At the same time I also became obsessed with ringing noises or noises that were high pitched. I questioned whether this was ocd or if I was going mad (which usually means it's OCD! ). When I received the book I was amazed to see these types of obsessions listed. Jon talks about 'loud thoughts' which is exactly the term I was using to my therapist to articulate how they felt. I've started to make real headway with these obsessions now. The songs don't bother me at all now and I'm over the ear thing!
I have had a new obsession regarding 'the meaning of life' which I believe some refer to as exestential OCD. I never thought this one would bother me but it has. Whilst it's not covered in the book I'm starting to work with my therapist around ERP and script writing in order to habituate to these awful thoughts and feelings.
The mindfulness element I find incredibly useful. I think in the past this is what I had been doing but not recognising it as being 'mindful'. Accepting you had an awful thought and awful feeling yet carrying on with my day without dwelling on it was how I pulled myself out of previous obsessions. This is essentially what this book helps you to do. To pull yourself back to the present and let the thoughts be.
This is still something I'm trying to master but do feel like progress is being made. What is useful about this book is that it is written in a way that really resonate's with sufferers. It covers a lot of the main obsessions including relationship OCD, pocd, harm, contamination and sexual orientations OCD.
As someone with a short attention span I like a book to be to the point. This is exactly that with really good exercises that aren't dragged out. You don't feel like you are reading war and peace like some books.
I'll will be (and have been) recomending this book to my OCD friends 😊
