Did you know that people have brain sorters that keep their brains from getting cluttered with unnecessary thoughts?
Sometimes these brain sorters get mixed up, though, holding onto thoughts that frighten kids. If this has happened to
you, if it's hard for you to feel safe or sure of yourself because scary thoughts have gotten stuck, this book is for you.
What To Do When Your Brain Gets Stuck
guides children and their parents through the cognitive-behavioral techniques used to treat Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
This interactive self-help book turns kids into super-sleuths, able to recognize and more appropriately respond to OCD's tricks.
Engaging examples, activities, and step-by-step instructions help children master the skills needed to break free from the sticky
thoughts and urges of OCD, and live happier lives. This book is the complete resource for educating, motivating, and empowering
children to work toward change.
