Review: Amazing Book!! - I very rarely leave reviews but this book has compelled me to do so. I have been really struggling with overthinking and intrusive thoughts recently, this book has made me realise that its completely normal, its took the scariness away from it and made me rationalise my thoughts, a life saver! The authors totally get it, its informative, reassuring and doesnt shy away from talking taboo subjects to ensure that all intrusive thoughts are captured and normalised!! Review: Superb - I've been meaning to write a review for this book for a long time, and this is the first desertcart review I have ever written. But I stronhly felt the authors needed to be thanked and congratulated for writing such a wise, yet simple and evidence based book. This advice in this book is practical, deceptively simple and yet somehow profoundly wise. I strongly feel the advice offered to embrace uncertainty and avoid reassurance, helps to being the mind naturally back into the present moment and back to a more natural allignment, more free from the general clutter which preoccupies us. I have enjoyed the freedom of escaping the power of the constant battle between my "reassurances" and my constant picking of holes in these "reassurances", uncertainty is after all inescapable, so the advice to embrace it, though counterintuitive at first, is wise and almost spiritual. I actually found this to be a deeply spiritual book. Thank you so much for producing such a practical guide to escaping from reassurance and the negative spiral of thinking this can produce. I personally have a long road to recovery but now I have a map. Thank you. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 5,864 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 34 in Family & Lifestyle Health Addictions 47 in Applied Psychology (Books) 104 in Higher Education of Biological Sciences | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (4,601) | | Dimensions | 14.61 x 1.27 x 22.23 cm | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 1626254346 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1626254343 | | Item weight | 272 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 184 pages | | Publication date | 27 April 2017 | | Publisher | New Harbinger | ## Images ![Overcoming Unwanted Intrusive Thoughts: A CBT-Based Guide to Getting Over Frightening, Obsessive, or Disturbing Thoughts - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71HIBvtOgsL.jpg) ![Overcoming Unwanted Intrusive Thoughts: A CBT-Based Guide to Getting Over Frightening, Obsessive, or Disturbing Thoughts - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ovnFsGJaL.jpg) ![Overcoming Unwanted Intrusive Thoughts: A CBT-Based Guide to Getting Over Frightening, Obsessive, or Disturbing Thoughts - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61nZltKh2oL.jpg) ![Overcoming Unwanted Intrusive Thoughts: A CBT-Based Guide to Getting Over Frightening, Obsessive, or Disturbing Thoughts - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61bM4QmuA6L.jpg) ![Overcoming Unwanted Intrusive Thoughts: A CBT-Based Guide to Getting Over Frightening, Obsessive, or Disturbing Thoughts - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71k8Wjmt6AL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Book!! *by L***N on 9 January 2026* I very rarely leave reviews but this book has compelled me to do so.
