What it is

OCD sucks. It’s loud. It’s bossy. And it’s really good at convincing you that you need to do what it says. But what if you stopped taking orders from it?

In OCD Sucks: A Survival Guide, anxiety and OCD therapist Natasha Daniels takes more than two decades of clinical experience and turns evidence-based OCD treatment into a simple, practical guide for taking your life back. No complicated therapy jargon. No worksheets. No endless analyzing of your thoughts. Just straightforward tools you can start using when OCD shows up. Natasha introduces OCD as the Paper Dragon, a beast that can look terrifying and powerful but is actually just made of paper. Throughout the book, you’ll learn how to recognize the Dragon, stop feeding it, break its rules, and build the skills to face OCD without letting it run your life.

Whether OCD shows up as contamination, harm thoughts, relationship doubts, morality, health fears, “just right” feelings, disgust, or something entirely different, the costume isn’t the point.

Different costumes. Same Dragon.

You don’t have to slay your Dragon overnight. You just have to stop letting it call all the shots.
