I don't have it, but I'm *very* familiar with it from personal experience. If you really want to change, cognitive behavior therapy has a better rate of success with OCPD than it does with any other personality disorder. This makes sense, intuitively. Have you tried it? If you haven't, but want to, it might be a good idea to look for a therapist with experience in using CBT for personality disorders. I'm guessing it calls for a separate set of skills and more experience than using it for anxiety or depression.
You have my immense respect for *wanting* to change.
