You are not your thoughts! In this powerful book, two anxiety experts offer proven-effective cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) skills to help you get unstuck from disturbing thoughts, overcome the shame these thoughts can bring, and reduce your anxiety. If you suffer from unwanted, intrusive, frightening, or even disturbing thoughts, you might worry about what these thoughts mean about you. Thoughts can seem like messagesโ are they trying to tell you something? But the truth is that they are just thoughts , and donโt necessarily mean anything. Sane and good people have them. If you are someone who is plagued by thoughts you donโt wantโthoughts that scare you, or thoughts you canโt tell anyone aboutโthis book may change your life. In this compassionate guide, youโll discover the different kinds of disturbing thoughts, myths that surround your thoughts, and how your brain has a tendency to get โstuckโ in a cycle of unwanted rumination. Youโll also learn why common techniques to get rid of these thoughts can backfire. And finally, youโll learn powerful cognitive behavioral skills to help you cope with and move beyond your thoughts, so you can focus on living the life you want. Your thoughts will still occur, but you will be better able to cope with themโwithout dread, guilt, or shame. If you have unwanted thoughts, you should remember that you arenโt alone. In fact, there are millions of people just like youโgood people who have awful thoughts, gentle people with violent thoughts, and sane people with โcrazyโ thoughts. This book will show you how to move past your thoughts so you can reclaim your life!

Is it Worth it? (OCD Book Review)
The goal of going to therapy for most people for intrusive thoughts is to help if not rid them of the shame, fear and secrecy that surrounds these thoughts. The thoughts themselves will never leave. With that said I think this book is an excellent companion or stand alone text. I have always been an advocate of sufferers diving head first into learning all they can about their disorders, being proactive and advocating for themselves with this knowledge if possible. No one wants to go to therapy or take medicine and feel like that is all that is keeping them afloat. This book does an excellent job of pinpointing the problem in an easy to understand manner and providing doable solutions to help. Personally this book has helped me and I hope that mental health practitioners read this book to get a better understanding of OCD sufferers with intrusive thoughts as well as recommend this book for those that do. I was so satisfied with this book that I did not hesitate to buy "Needing to know for sure by the same authors". As well I do not hesitate to re-read when I get off track or my OCD is being extremely persistent and I feel overwhelmed. This book helps me get back on track to start pinpointing what is going on and redo-ing steps to get it back under control. It is always hard, as OCD tends to be, but I am thankful to have such a reference that is easy to understand and laid out well enough to implement. This is the information I wish I had at my fingertips when I first started therapy.

Amazing Book!!
I very rarely leave reviews but this book has compelled me to do so. I have been really struggling with overthinking and intrusive thoughts recently, this book has made me realise that its completely normal, its took the scariness away from it and made me rationalise my thoughts, a life saver! The authors totally get it, its informative, reassuring and doesnt shy away from talking taboo subjects to ensure that all intrusive thoughts are captured and normalised!!
