Turning Points: Peer Support with a Strategy to Help Those Affected by Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
OCD has the power to destroy lives like a hurricane filled with tornadoes. While OCD turns households and relationships upside down and affects all involved, only the sufferer understands what the intense personal emotional, mental, and physical pain feels like. It is through this lens of personal experience, of living in the hell pit and then determining how to crawl out, that Shannon Shy offers his personal insight.In a comprehensive guide that provides peer support and a proven strategy for recovering from OCD, Shy relies on both his personal experiences and credentials as a certified peer recovery specialist to teach OCD sufferers how to summon the power and strength within to transform their perspective and get to a place where OCD does not adversely affect their lives. Through the included principles, exercises, practical tools, and real-life stories from those who have made significant strides in their own OCD recovery journey, Shy provides a roadmap of hope that shares valuable information about the growing discipline of peer support, insight into how to build a recovery foundation, his strategy to overcome OCD, motivation, encouragement, and tips for sufferers to self-motivate.Turning Points shares principles, tools, and insight from an OCD survivor to help sufferers of OCD choose recovery over fear and get better.

Excellent
My OCD journey has been years in the making. Although I am “mostly” recovered after years of ERP, I-CBT, numerous workshops and reading dozens of books on OCD and recovery I can say I found Shannon’s book very insightful and it supports many of the concepts learned throughout my healing process. I love the sense of personal power this book provides- something that has largely been absent for me. In reading this book it helped me to see that I am the solution to OCD and the concept of not giving relevancy to the disorder is the way out. Although it is difficult initially to implement irrelevancy at first it gets easier as you go along. I can say that although I still occasionally get lured by OCD’s lies my daily life is no longer effected. There is hope and recovery is truly possible.
