Description: Everyone has their doubts now and then, but extreme doubt--the kind that leaves you paralyzed and unable to move forward in your life--can cause intense emotional distress, and even lead to (or worsen) several mental health conditions, such as anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Written by anxiety and OCD expert David A. Clark, this evidence-based workbook offers essential skills grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help readers overcome toxic doubt, make peace with uncertainty, and improve their lives.
