You are not your thoughts - especially the ones that frighten you. Feeling guilt, shame, fear and embarrassment about intrusive thoughts can seem inevitable. But what if they weren't what they appeared? What if they provoked compassion not condemnation?

If your mind has ever felt like a trap, When Thoughts Get Stuck will help you understand why. More than that, it will show you a gentle pathway to peace of mind; re-introducing you to the unshakeable love of God for the anxious and obsessive.

Written by two people who live with OCD, this book combines personal experience with psychological insight and spiritual wisdom. With honesty and compassion, Anglican priest and mental health advocate Will Van Der Hart and mental health communicator Thea Joshi expose the hidden struggle of obsessive thinking - especially when it gets tangled with Christian faith.

Whether you have a formal OCD or Anxiety diagnosis, or if you've secretly struggled with intrusive thoughts alone, this book is for you.

Inside you'll discover:

What OCD really is (- and what it's not) How biblical principles and OCD mindsets interact Why we can let go of persistent guilt and condemnation Practical tools for handling obsessions and compulsions when they appear Biblical truth and clinical insights that break the cycle of fear Each chapter includes spiritual encouragement, expert-informed guidance, and a prayer to help you to embrace the love of God for you.

When Thoughts Get Stuck offers a timely, compassionate, and deeply personal exploration of OCD and obsessive thinking. Written with pastoral care and the warmth of personal experience, Will and Thea do a superb job of providing readers with practical tools for breaking cycles of rumination. This empowering book is a must read for church leaders and for those who struggle with OCD and obsessive thoughts.
