@thatocdtherapist: OCD works differently than anxiety, and requires a different treatment approach. With anxiety, you can often use logic and fact checking to work through the anticipated problem. You can use grounding skills to help you feel more relaxed. With OCD, the problem never feels resolved, and doing things like “checking the evidence” can send you deeper into the spiral. Deep breathing exercises may help temporality, but the anxiety (or dread, disgust, etc.) is going to come roaring back the second the bad thought pops back up. The best treatment for OCD is Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), which helps you stop feeding the loop and get back to enjoying life instead of living every second in fear.
