Summary
Over decades, noted authority Jonathan S. Abramowitz has helped thousands of people harness their courage and determination--plus science-based treatment strategies--to overcome obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD). Yet he has also seen the ripple effects of the disorder in daily life, no matter where an individual is in their recovery journey. This book provides problem-solving strategies and support that people prone to OCD can turn to any time, any place. Short, engaging chapters offer keys to navigating important relationships, structuring everyday routines, enhancing productivity, coping with intrusive thoughts and urges, developing self-compassion, and much more. Including clear steps to follow and downloadable practical tools, Living Well is an ideal stand-alone resource or complement to the author's comprehensive self-help workbook, Getting Over OCD, Second Edition.
