About this listen
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 nonjudgmentally 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.

These "hidden compulsions" can include constant reassurance seeking, obsessive regret or worry, and may involve avoidance, excessive preparation, and thought rituals.

Story
The inner critic is the voice inside our heads reminding us that we are never "good enough". It's behind the insidious thoughts that can make us second-guess our every action and doubt our own value. The inner critic might feel overpowering, but it can be managed effectively. Meditation teacher and therapist Mark Coleman helps listeners understand and free themselves from the inner critic using the tools of mindfulness and compassion.

Pure obsessional obsessive-compulsive disorder, or "Pure O" OCD, is a subtype of OCD that is characterized by intrusive thoughts, images, or urges without any visible symptoms. These "hidden compulsions" can include constant reassurance seeking, obsessive regret or worry, and may involve avoidance, excessive preparation, and thought rituals. They can also cloud your judgement, causing you to make decisions based on fears and compulsions instead of your values. So, how do you break this obsessive cycle?

Of course worry can be an important asset when it forces our attention on problem solving. But anxious worrying can cause us to unnecessarily focus on threat, to retreat and avoid, and to seek reassurance and safety - which is no way to foster a life of growth and excitement. In his fifth published book, Dr. Reid Wilson proposes a groundbreaking, paradoxical approach to overcoming anxiety and worry by moving away from comfort, confidence, and security and willingly moving toward uncertainty, distress, and discomfort.

From elementary schools to psychotherapy offices, mindfulness meditation is an increasingly mainstream practice. At the same time, trauma remains a fact of life. Drawing on a decade of research and clinical experience, psychotherapist and educator David Treleaven shows that mindfulness meditation - practiced without an awareness of trauma - can exacerbate symptoms of traumatic stress. This raises a crucial question: How can we minimize the potential dangers of mindfulness for survivors while leveraging its powerful benefits?

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 ♥️

A great resource
While I disagree with their stance on medications and the idea that OCD is by definition "for life," this book presents much needed ideas of mindfulness and self-compassion into the treatment arena.
The authors offer easy and understandable "games" to work with one's challenges and frame the recovery journey in the context of living a mindful and compassionate life.
They do not dig into the nitty gritty of OCD types and how to structure one's regiment, but rather give a broad strokes viewpoint on ways to apply exposure therapies gently and appropriately. They offer instruction in meditation and explain well the reason why compassion is so needed along the path.

must for any veteran
look back at all the people who spoke to you about why you are the way you are from the military. bunch of bull crap when you listen to this and realize that it all chocks up to your OCD and OCPD from years of institutionalization and indoctrination.
I do not agree with how they reference medication in the book though and do not advise anything other than holistic myself
