Author Description

Visual Tourettic OCD (V-TOCD) is a term to describe staring at people's private areas and peripherally. Unfortunately, Carol Edwards is one of those people. So, her goal is to raise awareness of this seemingly hidden variation of OCD. She knows thousands of people who struggle with it behind the scenes, many still looking for answers to cope with the disorder. Carol tells her story to provide some of those answers. Through her lens, she helps sufferers of V-TOCD see that despite falling victim, how they can learn to survive it as she did.Since Carol trained to become a cognitive-behavioural therapist specialising in obsessive-compulsive disorder, she wondered why people develop this tic-related problem. Before that, she hadn't a clue why people stare inappropriately and peripherally but worried about what it meant. This book explains how she learned more about V-TOCD and how she tested the tools she'd learned through her training. In short, this book includes techniques to blend with exposure-based cognitive-behaviour therapy (CBT) to help others know there is a way to overcome it.
