Reading Brain Lock felt like someone finally handed me the manual I didn’t know I’d been writing in my head for years. It wasn’t just helpful and it was grounding. The Four-Step method isn’t some abstract theory; it’s a tool I could actually pick up and use in real time, without feeling like I had to erase my experience to do it.
What meant most to me was how the book didn’t shame the struggle and it named it. And in doing that, it created space for patience, not panic. It made me feel less alone in the loop, and more capable of interrupting it.
This wasn’t just about managing OCD and it was about reclaiming authority over my mind in a way that felt practical, steady, and deeply human.
This book is very technical on the possibility of the cause of OCD. I do like the concept of this book but it is a lot to take in for the general reader. I wish it had more variety to the subtypes of OCD like mine.
Overall a good book for those looking for a way to learn and get through your OCD.
