Editorial reviews

"The author has succeeded in providing a practical road map for people struggling with OCD to incorporate mindfulness into their CBT treatment. For many, this will be the addition that makes all the difference." -Carl Johnson, PhD, professor of psychology and neuroscience

"This book is user-friendly and accomplishes the near impossible task of sharing complex neurological concepts using understandable language, helpful descriptions, and practical tips to move past OCD. Patients often begin treatment terrified of their brain, having such uncomfortable and often disturbing thoughts. I am so happy to have a book to help them understand the neuroscience behind OCD, so they can understand OCD from a brain-based perspective." Susan Winston LPCC, LPC, NCC, CCATP, founder and lead counselor at People Health care
