What To Do When Your Brain Gets Stuck By Dawn Huebner
What to Do When Your Brain Gets Stuck: A Kid’s Guide to Overcoming OCD is written by American clinical psychologist Dawn Huebner. This book guides children through cognitive behavioural techniques for treatment of OCD. Huebner explains OCD as a “brain sorter“ problem, where the brain has trouble deciding which thoughts to keep and which to throw away. She guides the reader through identifying obsession and compulsions, “talking back” to OCD, and tactics for “showing OCD who’s boss” (exposure response prevention). There are pages in the book for writing and drawing activities. It is illustrated in black and white by Bonnie Matthews. The book is intended for children ages 6 to 12 years.
