Everyday Mindfulness for OCD

Tips, Tricks & Skills for Living Joyfully

By: Jon Hershfield MFT, Shala Nicely LPC, C. Alec Pollard PhD (Foreword By) - introduction

Narrated by: Kirby Heyborne

If you've been diagnosed with OCD, you already understand how your obsessive thoughts, compulsive behavior, and need for rituals can interfere with everyday life. Maybe you've already undergone therapy or are in the midst of working with a therapist. It's important for you to know that life doesn't end with an OCD diagnosis. In fact, it's possible to not only live with the disorder, but also live joyfully. This practical and accessible guide will show you how.



In Everyday Mindfulness for OCD, you'll discover how you can stay one step ahead of your OCD. You'll learn about the world of mindfulness, and how living in the present moment non-judgmentally is so important when you have OCD. You'll also explore the concept of self-compassion—what it is, what it isn't, how to use it, and why people with OCD benefit from it. Finally, you'll discover daily games, tips, and tricks for outsmarting your OCD, meditations and mindfulness exercises, and much, much more.



Living with OCD is challenging—but it doesn't have to define you. If you're tired of focusing on how "hard" living with OCD is and are looking for fun ways to make the most of your unique self, this book will be a breath of fresh air.©2017 Jon Hershfield and Shala Nicely

A must read for anyone with OCD

This may be the best book on OCD I’ve ever read. The narrator is charming and witty and the writers clearly know what they’re talking about. I was immediately captivated by the one writer’s story from childhood when he first realized he had OCD. He did the right thing dedicating his life to combating it.

The chapters are broken up excellently and there is a surprising amount of humor. I am a veteran OCD sufferer and this book had tools I never thought of before such as playing games with the demon inside your head. I was actually laughing out loud at the newspaper headline game. I’ve often used humor against my ocd but this book took it to another level.

I truly believe this book would be a godsend to anyone suffering from ocd, particularly for teens who are new to this and may fear they are going crazy. This will give them the comfort and peace of mind they need. It is sad how many ppl suffer from this but it is also nice to know we are not alone and that there is hope.

Mindfulness is so important in the battle against ocd. I’ve realized more and more that I was never present in my life, I always lamented the past and feared the future. I will def attempt these tools of mindfulness every day and I wish luck to everyone else who tries ♥️
