Pure obsessional obsessive-compulsive disorder, or "Pure O" OCD, is a subtype of OCD characterized by intrusive thoughts, images, or urges without any visible symptoms. These "hidden compulsions" can include constant reassurance seeking, obsessive regret or worry, and may involve avoidance, excessive preparation, and thought rituals. While these thoughts and behaviors can be incredibly distressing, trying to stop or change them only leads to more anxiety and fear.

"Pure O" OCD explains the cognitive fusion underlying your obsessive thoughts and how it can lead to social anxiety, not feeling good enough, panic attacks, and phobias. This fusion reinforces itself in an unhelpful, positive feedback loop, making it difficult to break free from the cycle.

But don't despair! This guide provides you with the tools you need to break free from the struggle and obsess less. By using the five skills outlined in this book - labeling, letting go, mindfulness, purpose, and acceptance - you can learn how to counter your anxiety and obsessive thoughts with your own, values-based narrative. You'll learn how to better accept your thoughts and feelings, so that you can proceed freely and purposefully toward a life that reflects what matters most to you.

So why wait? Start living the life you want today by letting go of the struggle and obsessing less. With this unique guide, you'll find the tools you need to get unstuck and live a life that is truly fulfilling and free from fear.
