Your seven-year-old suddenly wonders if there’s poison in their food and can’t eat a meal without asking. Your nine-year-old apologizes incessantly. Your eleven-year-old does everything in multiples of five.

OCD isn’t always about hand washing. It’s about unwanted thoughts that take hold of your child and urges they cannot ignore. It’s about rituals intended to ward off harm. And it's about questions. Endless questions. Questions about safety. Questions about certainty. Questions that drive you crazy. Questions that break your heart.

What to Do When Your Brain Gets Stuck, 2nd Edition, teaches evidence-based cognitive-behavioral strategies to combat obsessive-compulsive disorder. Like the best-selling first edition, this engaging workbook combines step-by-step instructions, engaging interactive activities, and lively illustrations to help children and their parents learn to spot OCD’s tricks and manage them more effectively. Written with warmth and humor, this indispensable guide helps families personalize a game plan to reduce the power of OCD.

This book is part of the Magination Press's What-to-Do Guides for Kids series and includes an informative “Introduction to Parents and Caregivers” written by the author.
