Until It Feels Right - by Emily Costa (Paperback)

About the Book

"Stylized journals written while undergoing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder"--

Book Synopsis

Emily Costa has had obsessive-compulsive disorder since childhood. After decades of unsuccessful treatments, her condition worsens significantly during the pandemic, and she decides to try an intensive program of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Until It Feels Right is a series of framed and stylized diary entries written during the three weeks of this treatment. It's a closer look into the realities of OCD outside traditional media depiction, a peek behind the curtain of the processes involved in CBT, and an entertaining complex portrait of a mind fighting against itself.
