Your OCD Will Hate This Book

A good self-help book makes the reader feel like the author is right there with them on the journey. In Your OCD Will Hate This Book, Nathan Peterson does this right from the start by directly addressing your scepticism in a truly disarming way. He then clearly and thoughtfully lays out the most effective and evidence-based techniques to change your relationship with OCD through behaviour. To make a book feel like a real chat, and then press the point that talking about it just won’t cut it, is to crack the self-help code.

Nathan has done something powerful here. He doesn’t just explain OCD. He calls it out. And this is what it takes to take OCD down. The most powerful part of this book is how he exposes OCD’s predictable 'playbook.' Nathan outlines the sneaky, convincing lines OCD feeds you to keep you trapped in doubt and urgency, leaving you feeling understood and empowered. This book is bold, clear and deeply practical. I’d recommend it to anyone ready to stop negotiating with OCD and start reclaiming their life.
