To me, the butterfly is a symbol of what people with OCD can become. We are caterpillars with great potential. I spent years as a caterpillar; functional, but not living up to my potential. With the onset of obsessive-compulsive disorder, I entered my cocoon. I isolated myself from others because of shame, embarrassment and secrecy. With treatment and education, I am becoming the butterfly I was meant to be. </strong></font></p> <p align="center"><font size="6" color="#800080"><strong>Cherry's Books</strong></font></p> <p align="center"><strong><a href="/ocdworkbook/" target="_blank">THE OCD WORKBOOK</a></strong></p> <p align="center"><a href="/habitchange/" target="_blank"><strong>THE HABIT CHANGE WORKBOOK </strong></a></p> <p align="center"><a href="/habitchange/" target="_blank"><strong>THE BDD WORKBOOK </strong></a></p> <p align="center"><a href="/habitchange/" target="_blank"><strong>HELPING YOUR CHILD WITH OCD </strong></a></p> <p align="center"><a href="/habitchange/" target="_blank"><strong>LOVING SOMEONE WITH OCD </strong></a></p> <p align="center"><a href="/habitchange/" target="_blank"><strong>OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE DISORDER </strong></a></p> <p align="center"><a href="/habitchange/" target="_blank"><strong>ANXIETY DISORDER</strong></a></p> <p align="center"><strong> </strong></p> <p align="center"><strong><font size="6" color="#800080">About OCD</font></strong></p> <p ALIGN="center"><b><a HREF="success.html">Cherry's Story</a><br> <a HREF="ocdefined.html">OCD Defined</a><br> <a HREF="treatment.html">Help and Hope for OCD<br> </a> <a href="ocdlife.html">Life with OCD</a><br> <a HREF="therapist.html">How to Find a Therapist</a><br> <a HREF="goals.html">Making Goals<br> </a> <a href="family_friends.html">Support for Family & Friends</a><br> <a href="spirituality.html">OCD and Spirituality</a><br> <a HREF="humor.html">OCD Humor</a><br> <a HREF="poetry.html" target="_blank">OCD Poetry</a><br> <a href="educators.html">Especially for Educators</a></b></p> <p ALIGN="center"><b> <a href="wandastory.html">Wanda's Secrets - <span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt"><font size="2">A Story About a Girl with OCD</font></span></a><br> <br> <a href="resources.html">RESOURCES</a></b></p> <p ALIGN="center"><b> </b></p> <p ALIGN="center"><b> <a href="/lifechanges/">LIFE CHANGES WEBSITE</a></b></p> <p><b>Click <a href="/lifechanges/">here</a> to visit the <a href="/lifechanges/">Life Changes Website</a>, where I share my spiritual journey and ideas about habit change.</b></p> <p><b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Times New Roman; mso-fareast-font-family: Times New Roman; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA">I was the contributing editor for "OCD"  then "Habits" at Suite101 for over two years.
