The Body-Based Obsessions Workbook

If you have anxiety or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), you may also struggle with body-based obsessions-constant fears and worries about your physical and mental health. You may worry that your heart will stop beating, or that you'll stop breathing. You might obsess over your physical appearance, feel like there's something physically wrong with your brain, or fear that you are "going crazy." So, how can you break free from anxiety and obsessions about your body and brain?







Drawing on a combination of evidence-based CBT, exposure and response prevention therapy (ERP), mindfulness, and compassion-focused therapy, The Body-Based Obsessions Workbook offers powerful skills to help you manage intrusive thoughts and obsessions, and take back your life. You'll learn the difference between body-based obsessions and other disorders such as body dysmorphic disorder or health anxiety, and find practical tools to manage your worst symptoms-such as rumination, constant checking or monitoring of your breathing or heart rate, or fears about your mental health.







If you struggle with intense, intrusive thoughts about your body and brain, you're not alone-and there is help. This workbook will teach you proven-effective skills to overcome your obsessions, so you can experience lasting peace and comfort in your own body.
