If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking, “I just need to figure this out, and then I’ll feel better,”—this video is for you. OCD loves to trap you in endless mental loops, convincing you that clarity or certainty is just one more thought away.
But here’s the truth:
The more you try to solve, analyze, or “figure out” your intrusive thoughts, the worse your OCD gets. In this video, we’ll break down:
🟤 Why rumination feels productive (but isn’t)
🟤 The difference between problem-solving and mental compulsions
🟤 What to do instead of overthinking
🟤 How to handle that urge to “just think it through one more time”
If you’re ready to stop spiraling and start feeling more in control, hit play.
