Summary

Rewire the brain processes that cause obsessions and compulsions - and take back your life!

If you've ever wondered why you seem to get trapped in an endless cycle of obsessive, compulsive thoughts, you don't have to wonder anymore. Grounded in cutting-edge neuroscience and evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Rewire Your OCD Brain will show you how and why your brain gets stuck in a loop of obsessive thinking, uncertainty, and worry; and offers the tools you need to short-circuit this response and get your symptoms under control-for good.

Written by clinical psychologist Catherine Pittman and clinical neuropsychologist William Youngs, this groundbreaking book will show how neurological functions in your brain lead to obsessions, compulsions, and anxiety. You'll also find tons of proven-effective coping strategies to help you manage your worst symptoms.

The brain is powerful, and the more you work to change the way you respond to obsessive thoughts, the more resilient you'll become. If you're ready to rewire the brain processes that lie at the root of your obsessive thoughts, this book has everything you need to get started today.

Unbearable to listen to

The book itself seems okay.

A bit heavy on the science and not the best written, for those who are already struggling with their mental health, but it explains how compulsions or rumination are a coping mechanism for anxiety, which I can get on board with.

I’m half way through and will probably end it here, as the narration is simply abysmal. It’s like listening to Alexa read it, and with the repetitive nature of the writing, it becomes stale very fast.

In a nutshell, this explains the fight/flight/freeze response, which you’re probably already well aware of (if you’ve done any self-research). The solution is to tolerate the uncomfortable feelings you have, and understand that feelings aren’t reality.

It goes into deep breathing and muscle relaxation techniques, which have been explained to death in most self help books already.

I’m just glad I didn’t pay for this (it’s within the Audible membership library), as I’d be asking for a credit back.

Shallow

Why don't Neurologists focus on the hardware, where they owe much of science, instead of software where their analyses sound ridiculous?
