About the Book
OCPD Revealed explores the eight traits of obsessive-compulsive personality disorder through two complementary lenses: the clinical perspective of a therapist and the lived experience of someone with OCPD.
Clear, practical, and deeply human, it offers understanding and tools for people with OCPD, their loved ones, and the professionals who support them. Gary Trosclair examines the clinical picture and pathways to change, while Darryl Rossignol shares the internal experience - the rules, the standards, and the moments of insight that come from the inside.
Structured around the eight traits of OCPD, the book moves between professional insight and personal narrative so readers can find what resonates and what helps.

OCPD REVEALD
THE AUTHORS
EIGHT TRAITS | TWO PERSPECTIVES
by Gary Trosclair, Darryl Rossignol
Do you feel driven by high standards, a need for control, and an endless mental checklist - yet still feel like you’re never quite doing enough?
You’re not alone!
OCPD Revealed brings together two rare perspectives in one book: a therapist who has spent decades working with driven, perfectionistic clients, and an insider who lives with Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder. Together, Gary Trosclair and Darryl Rossignol (founder of The OCPD Foundation) examine the eight core traits of OCPD from both the therapist's office and the insider's perspective.
Unlike OCD, which is marked by unwanted intrusive thoughts and rituals, OCPD is a personality style that can quietly shape your entire life - your work, relationships, sense of worth, and ability to rest. It often hides in plain sight as “just being responsible,” “high-achieving,” or “detail-oriented.”
Inside you’ll find:
A clear explanation of what OCPD actually is (and how it differs from OCD)
An honest look at the eight defining traits from both a clinical and personal viewpoint
Insight into why the same traits that create excellence can also create exhaustion, rigidity, and conflict
A grounded understanding of how these patterns form and what helps them loosen
Practical language you can use with yourself, partners, family, or a therapist
Whether you recognize these patterns in yourself, love someone who has them, or work with clients who live this way, OCPD Revealed offers something most books don’t: the clinical map and the view from inside the experience, side by side.
This is not about erasing your drive. It’s about understanding it well enough that it no longer has to run your life.
