What is this Audiobook about? This book is a guided meditation book for OCD sufferers. The book helps to teach mindfulness and acceptance based mindfulness for OCD. The book is a helpful tool to help learn how to calm the mind and live a more peaceful life.How does meditation help OCD?There is growing scientific evidence that mindfulness meditation may be helpful for OCD. A recent study published in the journal Behavior Modification found that a mindfulness-based intervention was more effective at reducing OCD symptoms than a traditional cognitive-behavioral therapy approach.The study's authors note that past research has shown that mindfulness meditation can help people to become more aware of their thoughts and emotions, and to better manage stress. This may be particularly beneficial for people with OCD, who often experience intrusive thoughts and overwhelming anxiety.The researchers suggest that mindfulness-based interventions should be considered as an option for OCD treatment, particularly for people who do not respond well to traditional therapy approaches.A small study published in 2013 found that participants who practiced mindfulness meditation daily for eight weeks had a significant decrease in OCD symptoms. A 2017 study found that mindfulness meditation was effective in reducing rumination, or obsessive thinking, in people with OCD.While more research is needed to determine the effectiveness of mindfulness meditation for OCD, these early findings suggest that it may be a promising treatment option.In this audiobook, I will take you through 4 guided meditations which can help with your OCD or suspected OCD. These will predominantly be 'acceptance' based meditations.
