Böcker av Helena Tarrant

In her powerful memoir, "My Life of Checking, Hiding, and Faking," author Helena Tarrant bares her soul as she unveils the torment of living with OCD from childhood to redemption. With raw honesty, she illuminates the intricate workings of an OCD-stricken mind, unravelling the baffling nature of the condition for those who stand on the outside, and unveiling the reasons why sufferers remain silent. Helena courageously exposes the invisible battles she fought, resorting to extraordinary measures to conceal her OCD, further intensifying her struggles. Through her personal journey, she shares invaluable strategies and profound insights that paved the way for her recovery. Alongside her poignant words, she adorns her narrative with poignant cartoons, capturing the essence of life with OCD and the blissful liberation that follows healing.

Beating OCD and Anxiety is a new kind of self-help book. It outlines 75 practical strategies that enabled Helena to recover from lifelong OCD and anxiety, but she shares her methods in a unique way. More than 100 original cartoons are included in this short, easy-to-read guide. So, rather than being text-heavy and explanatory, this book is an easy-reference toolkit for anyone aged 12 and upwards. It is conveniently segmented with tips and summary points, which will help in the here and now. The cartoons help to demonstrate the difficulties and add a touch of much-needed humour.Beating OCD and Anxiety has already been endorsed by an ever-growing number of professionals and acclaimed as a lifesaver by fellow sufferers, and is recommended by clinics and mental health charities. And Helena knows what you are going through, whether you are a sufferer or a supporter, which makes it a comfort as much as it is a source of knowledge.
