Charlotte has created an innovative, informative and inspiring diary. It delves into her personal journey of living with and fighting OCD, whilst providing vital self-help exercises which will complement the work that people experience whilst going through one of the gold standard treatments for OCD - Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with Exposure and Response Prevention therapy (ERP). We are really excited to see the impact this new supportive guide will have on the lives of those affected by this cruel condition.
