Being Me with OCD

Eloise

The book is part-memoir, part self-help, and is peppered with personal essays from teens and young adults that provide amazing insight into a number of topics. OCD is a peculiar beast in that, while it operates the same way for most people, it manifests differently for each individual, and the personal essays help the book touch on areas that haven't been a part of Alison's personal path with OCD.

I deeply appreciated her approach to medication. I also appreciated that she spent a significant amount of time addressing exposure and response avoidance, despite the fact that she had never undergone ERP herself. Alison also discusses how to overcome stigma.
