One-Eye’s Journey: A Children’s Workbook to Overcome OCD Doubt

Some children don't just wonder.They notice the wondering itself.A simple moment doesn't always stay simple. A small question can linger longer than it should. And "maybe" begins to feel like something that needs an answer.This companion workbook, with full-color illustrations throughout, invites children to explore Orin's journey in a different way.Designed to be used alongside One-Eye's Journey: A Story About Doubt and Seeing, this book offers gentle ways for children to return to what stood out in the story, without pressure, tests, or the feeling of needing to get it right.Through reflection, drawing, and quiet moments of noticing, something begins to come into view.Not as a lesson.More like a recognition.That doubt doesn't begin in what they see — but in what gets added. And that what is already here may be clearer than it first seemed.Created for children approximately ages 7–13, this workbook can be used on its own, with a caregiver, or alongside a therapist. It follows a simple direction:Insight comes first.Understanding takes its time.And from there, things begin to shift — without needing to be pushed.Grounded in Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT), an evidence-based approach to obsessive-compulsive doubt, the workbook moves chapter by chapter alongside the novel — with space to draw, write, and notice on every page.By Frederick Aardema, PhD, developer of Inference-Based CBT.
