Quieting the Storm Inside

How to Calm Your Mind, Heal Your Heart, and Find Lasting Peace

Quieting the Storm Inside offers a practical, science-based pathway for overcoming the relentless cycle of obsessions, compulsions, and intrusive thoughts. Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience, clinical expertise, and decades of counseling experience, Dr. Frank Minirth and Dr. Beau Abernathy present a compassionate guide for those seeking freedom from OCD’s grip.

This book explains how the brain’s wiring contributes to obsessive-compulsive patterns—and how you can retrain it toward peace and stability. Through accessible explanations and step-by-step strategies, readers learn how to:

• Understand the neurobiology of OCD and why thoughts “stick.”

• Apply proven CBT and ERP tools alongside brain-based practices.

• Use mindfulness and relaxation techniques to calm the “thought loop.”

• Develop new, healthy habits that reinforce resilience and healing.

• Replace shame and fear with hope, grace, and renewed confidence.

With clear action steps, reflection exercises, and encouragement rooted in both science and spiritual wisdom, this book is more than information—it is a lifeline. Readers will discover that they are not alone, their struggles are not their identity, and lasting freedom is possible.

Whether you are personally battling OCD, supporting a loved one, or working as a counselor or teacher, this book provides both the knowledge and encouragement needed to break free and reclaim your peace.
