So helpful!

So helpful to learn how the brain works in my anxiety and I have control to change it

Excellent!

The authors clearly explain how the amygdala and your FFR affect anxiety. They include several strategies to help you manage your anxiety and obsessive-compulsive tendencies.

Great information. Helpful.

Explanations. The book was very informative and offered very practical information. I recommend it to anyone who can listen to this book.

Wonderful in-depth neuroscience of OCD

I love very detailed books that explain exactly how things work. This book is that. As one example, the book helped me realize that fighting the stress response backfires because once the adrenaline is released, it has to work it’s way through the body for the stress response to be over. I used to freak out each time I felt my anxiety levels rise. Now I just mindfully breathe into it, waiting for it to work it’s course. It’s much more freeing. You definitely still need to work with a therapist, and the authors say so. But this book can definitely be of amazing help on the journey to taking back your life from OCD.

Life Changer

Complete explanation and immersion into the workings of the brain. There was not a single passage that didn't resonate somehow, and the feeling of be guided by a trusted friend to look behind a fiendish curtain is a journey anyone who struggles with this affliction needs to take. Hell, I'll probably take it again.
