This workbook, based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and
Exposure Response Prevention (ERP), teaches teens with OCD new skills to
handle the stream of pesky obsessions that show up in their mind.
It presents the Choice Point - a tool to help teens choose how to handle
those tricky moments when dealing with unwanted thoughts. Chapter by
chapter, teens learn powerful skills to unhook from their obsessions,
including exposure exercises and strategies for accepting their
emotions, and complete activities to help them overcome their
compulsions, avoidant behaviors, and requests for accommodations.
With real-life examples and tons of fun activities, this workbook shows
that fears, worry and nervousness are a part of life and gives teens the
skills to choose how to respond to their obsessions and move towards the
stuff they really care about. Making applying ACT and ERP skills fun, it
encourages them to face their fears and live life to the full.
