Amazing self help book. Would highly recommend!! Lynn is fabulous!
Excellent, informative, easy to read book that is helpful and insightful for people with OCD,carers and professionals.
Spread the word as OCD is now so widely spread and few know how to cope.

Your loving, nurturing writing style is what draws me back to your books.
Having clear information is wonderful, as is the recognition that families and friends of OCD sufferers are affected by the sufferers condition, and have a vital role in the individuals recovery.

Wonderful book. Really helped me understand OCD.

I know that I can rely on Lynn’s books to give heartfelt and helpful advice. Gave to a family member who found it easy to understand and the courage to get help.
A great read, highly recommended
Really insightful book that is both educational but easy to read and understand. The words portray the compassion that Lynn has for the subject of mental health and as a reader I found it made me more comfortable with the concept and the people it affects. Really helpful to both sufferers and carers, putting words to what they’re going through and might find hard to express themselves.
This book is so helpful, informative and compassionately put together. A really valuable resource for health professionals too. Highly recommend it.

A very informative book about a very difficult to understand illness
Grateful I got this book that help change my life for the better! Thank you.
Brilliant book really helped me to understand how the ocd mind works from a author who has personal experience and knows what she is talking about
Lynn is an inspirational and caring therapist and author. Her books, including this one, help not only the person in need of help but also their families. I highly recommend her books.
Lynn is a passionate and dedicated therapist, and her books are full of powerful insights, helping sufferers to better understand their illness and improve the quality of their lives!
Everything you need to understand and deal with the issues of OCD from someone who has experience of it.
having a family member with OCD I found this book very enlightening and helpful
understanding what sufferers go through so would recommend it to anyone who suffers from OCD or knows someone who does
Really helpful book, thanks xx
Amazing book by a great author deserves to win
Wow, what an excellent read. I wasn’t sure if I would find answers in another book, but Lynn’s down to earth and honest approach is so refreshing I couldn’t put it down. Thanks for the journey Lynn
Really enjoyed the read. My family and I found it extremely helpful
Really insightful read for both me and my family. It made it easier for me to discuss my difficulties with them by referring to certain chapters of the book. Lynn has done a great job.
This book has helped my family understand more of what I’m going through and how to support and help me. It’s great to have a book that helps the sufferer and those close to them. I can’t recommend this book enough!
Lynn’s understanding of OCD, matched by her professionalism and humanity, turns this book (as with her others) into a bible for all with experience directly or indirectly of OCD. Splendid and informative read!
What a difference this book has made to my clients. Lynn Crilly has explained everyones part to play in this outstanding and informative book.
This book is the most comprehensive OCD book on the market, insightful, educational, easy to read and understand. The way it’s written shows the compassion that Lynn has for the subject of mental health and I believe this book is really helpful to both sufferers and carers, allowing the reader to deeper understand the behaviours and mindset of sufferers whilst showing that there are things that can be done – there is always hope. Highly recommend it.
Another fantastic book in the Hope series. A great read for sufferers, carers and friends
Hope with OCD has helped me to not only understand my friends mental illness but also help her which has been invaluable support for her and has helped our friendship to. Brilliant book
So helpful, such insight, so caring, a real must for all who come into contact with this disease.
Great author she’s so caring to people like myself with problems and conditions, I’m glad to be taking part in her latest edition.
Such a wonderful lady and family to work with! I found the book very insightful, touching and most of all reassuringly hopeful – that there is in fact hope for people to live well and overcome conditions like this.
The nice thing about Lynn is that she says it as it is “no airy fairy” or technical language. As a straight talking person I like people who do the same! We see lots and lots of self help books but Lynn’s one are ones we enjoy reading infact the OCD one is a great conversation starter with strangers wishing to know about the book recently at a DR’s surgery I gave an interested party my copy of the book! The self help market is littered with so called “experts” many of which I have had dealings with as a sports agent (on behalf of my clients) however Lynn is a nice change from the others. Keep going Lynn you are putting the so called “professionals” with letters after their name to shame! You should sit on the Government task force might give them a sensible voice of reason!
Lynn nailed it with this practical guide to real life challenges. Thank you!
A refreshing read!! And really does bring out all the positive aspects for the outlook on life!
Amazing book, both the book and Lynn have really helped me and my recovery! Definitely deserves to win x❤️
Brilliant book, definitely worth reading. Not only is it heartwarming and informative, it helps those desperately in need. X
Even better than the first if possible!
A brilliant book where Lynn explores all aspects of OCD. The best part of the book is the personal opinions. Lynn has done it again and keep going with all of the hard work!
..a splendid book much needed for those needing help understanding self and indeed others..
Hope with OCD is written with warmth understanding and the expertise that can only come from someone that has lived with someone suffering from this awful illness. This book not only offered me a wide range of knowledge and skills but also and more importantly that my family member may get through this and we all may be able to move on Thank you Lynn for giving us HOPE
As a trainee counsellor I have found this book a vital tool to use in my training and will continue to use it as a great reference book. Lynn explains things in great detail but also keeps in simple and “down-to-earth” with her approach.
Another amazing book by the most wonderful author. Lynn has a way of giving hope and light in what feels like the darkest of times and I highly recommend this book to anyone.
Another excellent book. As ever Lynn shines writing a book with brilliant insight into mental health.
Another amazing book by a very talented author
This is such a powerful and inspiring read for anyone affected by OCD. It really does give hope to families struggling to make sense of this much misunderstood illness, while also giving absolutely vital information and real personal insight.
A fantastic read and so on point , it was really helpful for me to be able to get a better understanding of OCD .
It’s written in such a warm way , easy to read and understand , great practical advise , Thank you .
Very good book obviously written by someone who knows what she’s talking about
Absolutely love this book, very talented author, mother and dear friend !

Great book, such a help not just for me but my parents too. Lynn, as ever, is doing a great job in helping others and raising awareness in different areas of mental illness.
Brilliant author and book! Fab as always xxx
An amazing read I now have a better understanding of the illness of ocd highly recommend this read to anyone affected by this devastating and awful illness
i have read this book several times and it has really helped me to understand my friends ocd and in turn help me to help them overcome some of the challenges that she has to face on a daily basis thank you for writing this book i have now given it to another friend
Very interesting read.. and a great help to understand what members of family and friends have to deal with on a day to day.. Lynn is such great author aswell as amazing help to others❤️
Reading this book is like having Lynn in the room with me: you are learning and the answers are all in a down to earth no nonsense way. The other beauty of this book is that in my opinion it can be used as a ocd dictionary: you don’t have to read it from cover to cover to begin with. You can go straight to the part that you are interested in. When you have done this you will want to read the rest of the book.
Gives an excellent understanding to such a misunderstood illness.
Love the book!!!! So inspirational and powerful xx
Lynn explains things using language that is easy to understand. She is both reassuring and informative. I cannot recommend this book enough.
Hope with OCD is the best book i have read on this subject one of my family members suffers from this awful mental illness and its effect it has on the close members is devastating to watch. This book addressees all of this and more giving realistic suggestions and ideas to help combat and some of this devastation this can only been done my someone that knows what they are talking about. would highly recommend
Would highly recommend this book, i read this book not really knowing very much about this illness and by the time i had read it my knowledge and understanding was much wider and more emphatic to the close family member suffering
Excellent book written with the knowledge that can only come from someone that has had personal experience of this awful illness that manages to [permeate its way through every aspect of everyone involved life
I know the author personally and know of her work both with clients and through her writing, she works and writes with passion and genuine understanding something that can only come from first hand experience she is truly a angel that has touched many peoples lives in a very positive way something that is very rare these days she defiantly deserves to win xx
Brilliant book based on facts very imformative and easy to read. Written in laymen terms so as even the inexperienced can understand and grasp the methods needed to be used to make life easier. Such a great read. Such a great author with personal understanding.
Fantastic book, full of great information that everyone can understand.
This book has really changed my perceptions of OCD, my sister struggles with this illness and to be honest before I read this easy to understand book i was super naive. I am so grateful I came across this, it has helped me to support my sister so much more as I now understand the angst and suffering she is going through. Thank you.
Amazing book. Packed with very helpful info.
Amazing book and author really good help!!
This book has been an amazing resource and has helped to educate myself and my partner more about his condition which we now know he has had since he was a child thank you for writing this book
Such a valuable resource full of helpful and insightful information. And best of all it’s written in such a warm and understanding way which makes it a source of comfort too.
This book is a must for those struggling with OCD but also perfect for an insight into understanding what people with OCD go through.
This book is a fantastic resource for teachers and parents alike. I have learnt so much about OCD and ways in which I can support my students. It is written with kindness and understanding and for people who don’t get science. Written with the people OCD affects at the very heart of it. I cannot recommend it enough.
A brilliant read for those who have OCD and their carers. If you need help in understand OCD, this is the book for you.
Great book, helped me understand what my step daughter was/is going through. Now helping her and us a great deal. What a find.
An excellent book on an often difficult subject written in an easy to absorb format. It’s a life changing book. Can’t recommend it highly enough.
Fantastic book packed with information on ocd
As a sufferer of ocd myself I can honestly say that this book has changed my life lynn writes with first hand experience and knowledge which really helps the reader understand this awful and debilitating illness
Such an amazing book. Not only had I read it, but I’ve lent it to a few friends and they have found it most helpful. Lynn’s been so open and honest by drawing on her own experience with Sam. So brave to bare it all. Truly admirable.
Incredible book! So well written and heartfelt.
