The book offers a great variety of tips and tools for abandoning unproductive reassurance and learning that life really is better with doubt.” —Jon Hershfield, MFT, author of Overcoming Harm OCD, and director of The OCD and Anxiety Center of Greater Baltimore -- Jon Hershfield, MFT I was happy to see the re-appearance of Worried Voice, False Comfort and Wise Mind - with Wise Mind fleshed out more fully than in previous books. Also, the case examples seemed to come directly from my therapy room couch. I know they will resonate with clients as they read about themselves, feeling both normalized and hopeful. In this episode I chat with Sally about her therapy story, what is compulsive reassurance seeking, why reassurance seeking is a trap, changing your relationship with uncertainty, reducing this compulsion, what it means to “Live in a world of maybe and good enough”, how families can support people wanting to break OCD reassurance seeking cycles and much much more. Hope it helps.
