Harm OCD: Turning Your Darkness Inside Out

by Paul A. Toth

Having experienced Harm OCD his entire life, the author explains how and why it becomes so unmanageable with examples from his own experience, then provides the tools that will help readers transform Harm OCD into a valuable and life-enhancing asset. His perspective is unique: The thoughts really do have some basis in reality, essentially exaggerating themselves to let the sufferer know that to be human is to be imperfect, an idea entirely alien to those who live with any form of OCD. Harm OCD is almost entirely unknown to the public, as its torments can't be shown on TV like those of a cleanliness compulsion. Yet Harm OCD's fears of harming those we love most make life at least as difficult. And while most suffer Harm OCD in silence, their "horrible" thoughts are quite normal. It's only the persistence of those thoughts that differentiates those who live with Harm OCD from anyone else. This book seeks to give a light switch to Harm OCD sufferers, one they can use to illuminate the darkness and find their way back to their entirely normal and quite possibly enhanced humanity.
