By Artem Kudelia PhD

Endless thoughts buzzing? Compulsive checks? Constant nagging sense of unfinished tasks? Tormented by OCD Intrusive Thoughts? Tame Them with this accessible 15-Step CBT Workbook! Modern life triggers can fuel your intrusive fears, obsessions and anxieties, from hours of doomscrolling to FOMO-driven checking. These behaviors can lock you in loops of rumination, perfectionism, self-sabotage, shame, leading to compulsive rituals, guilt-driven procrastination, and isolation... What can you do about this "situation"? How can you take back control of your life? Dr. Artem Kudelia, a clinical psychologist with a PhD, offers a compassionate, grounded in real-therapy OCD workbook for adults to manage obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorders using science-backed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques in a step-by-step process. You can manage OCD with CBT, and Dr. Art will help you: Understand your OCD triggers--gain clarity on your patterns (p. 15). Silence haunting worries with the "Pink Elephant" trick--observe thoughts without fear (p. 23). Break free from compulsive rituals using the "Tiger" exercise--shift your focus effectively (p. 24). Reframe hyper-responsibility--let go of guilt (p. 27). Challenge self-doubt--see thoughts as intangible (p. 33). Stop overthinking--learn to act despite your thoughts (p. 37). Overcome intrusive thoughts with "Tsunami"--immerse in your fears safely (p. 58). Reduce compulsive checking--refrain and regain control (p. 75).
