that torment us. It generates doubts that cause constant anxiety. And it shifts focus to thoughts that are impossible to stop thinking about – and we begin to feel like we need to do something again and again to feel relief. The brain can hinder making the simplest decision, endlessly offering various scenarios, making it seem impossible to make the right choice. This is how obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) arises. In this book, clinical psychologists Katherine Pittman and William Youngs will share their knowledge about the processes that cause obsessive thoughts and actions, and show how to reduce their intensity. They will explain the emergence of the agonizing sense of anxiety and fear that compels one to constantly perform certain actions to feel some relief. And they will help you break free from this vicious circle by offering new ways to cope with anxiety. You will master the mechanism of creating new connections in the brain, which will allow you to live happily and freely – in accordance with your own goals and values.
