Gary Trosclair explores the power of the driven personality and the
positive outcomes those with obsessive compulsive personality
disorder can achieve through a mindful program of harnessing the
skills that can work, and altering those that serve no one. If you
were born with a compulsive personality you may become rigid,
controlling, and self-righteous. But you also may become
productive, energetic, and conscientious. Same disposition, but
very different ways of expressing it. What determines the
difference? Some of the most successful and happy people in the
world are compelled by powerful inner urges that are almost
impossible to resist. They're compulsive. They're driven. But some
people with a driven personality feel compelled by shame or
insecurity to use their compulsive energy to prove their worth, and
they lose control of the wheel of their own life. They become
inflexible and critical perfectionists who need to wield control,
and they lose the point of everything they do in the process. A
healthy compulsive is one whose energy and talents for achievement
are used consciously in the service of passion, love and purpose.
An unhealthy compulsive is one whose energy and talents for
achievement have been hijacked by fear and its henchman, anger.
Both are driven: one by meaning, the other by dread. The Healthy
Compulsive: Healing Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder and
Taking the Wheel of the Driven Personality, will serve as the
ultimate user's guide for those with a driven personality,
including those who have slid into obsessive-compulsive personality
disorder (OCPD). Unlike OCD, which results in specific symptoms
such as repetitive hand-washing and intrusive thoughts, OCPD
permeates the entire personality and dramatically affects
relationships. It also requires a different approach to healing.
Both scientifically informed and practical, The Healthy Compulsive
describes how compulsives get off track and outlines a four-step
program to help them consciously cultivate the talents and passions
that are the truly compelling sources of the driven personality.
Drawing from his 25 years of clinical experience as a
psychotherapist and Jungian psychoanalyst, and his own personal
experience as someone with a driven personality, Trosclair offers
understanding, inspiring stories of change, and hope to compulsives
and their partners about how to move to the healthy end of the
compulsive spectrum.
