Synopsis

Get unstuck from procrastination and perfectionism, improve your relationships, and find deeper meaning in your life with this evidence-based workbook.

If you have obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD), you may struggle with debilitating self-judgment, doubt and indecision, perfectionism, and an inability to finish tasks. You may fear situations where you don't have complete control. And you may feel chronically frustrated and "stuck." If OCPD has negatively affected your life and your relationships, there are tools you can use to find balance. This workbook can help you get started.

Written by two leading experts in OCPD and based in proven-effective cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), this workbook offers empowering skills to help you overcome rigidity, embrace imperfection, and thrive. You'll learn to make the most of your strengths--such as attention to detail and a strong work ethic--while also identifying and managing negative behaviors associated with OCPD. In addition, you'll find strategies to regulate your emotions, conquer procrastination, and move past doubt and indecision.

The evidence-based skills in this workbook will help you:

• Move past the need to be "perfect"
• Make the most of your core strengths and abilities
• Live a more balanced and values-driven life
• Cultivate kindness and compassion for yourself and others
