Paperback: For those who are unbearably anxious: Cure troublesome and pathological habits

by Jeffrey M. Schwartz, Tomoko Yoshida

You can't help washing your hands, checking the keys or stove over and over again, you can't help but keep everything safe. You know it's silly, but if you don't do it, you feel so anxious. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is actually a problem with the biochemical functioning of the brain. The main mechanisms of the brain are locked and continue to send incorrect commands. If you can unlock it and change the way the brain works, you can be freed from these compulsive behaviors. This book presents a four-step behavioral therapy for this purpose. It is a therapy that can be widely applied to people with obsessive-compulsive disorder, bulimia, addiction, and many other bad habits. It is for everyone who wants to change their behavior and change their life.
