In Stuff That’s Loud, you’ll learn exposure and response prevention (ERP), and ideas from acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help you break free from loud, spiralling OCD thoughts and behaviors:
You’ll learn to be curious about the world around you You’ll use willingness to step forward boldly Flexibility skills to practice everywhere, everywhen So that you can live a life you give a $#@! about

I love that this book is based in lived experience, is accessible and concise, has beautiful illustrations, and acknowledges how hard it can be to move forward with OCD treatments. Because it's aimed at teenagers it is truly consent based, rather than shaming or bossy, but I would recommend it for anyone or for friends and family of someone with OCD.
