Episode Notes

Rumination feels automatic in OCD. But there’s a difference between thoughts and thinking. You can’t always stop a thought from showing up, but you can choose whether to keep engaging with it. OCD says “I can’t stop thinking about this,” but what it really means is “I don’t know how to stop feeding it.” Learning to redirect your attention is a skill, and it’s one of the most important parts of recovery. The thoughts may come back, but you don’t have to follow them. DM me if you want practical tools to work on this.
