This is a short transcript excerpt (from a YouTube video) listing three ‘sneaky’ compulsions that can impede OCD recovery: (4) testing yourself (exposing to triggers to ‘prove’ safety rather than for recovery), (5) fake acceptance (saying you accept intrusive thoughts while secretly hoping anxiety will end sooner), and (6) preventative rituals (avoiding people/places or covert rituals to prevent feared outcomes). The clip frames stopping these compulsions as key to recovery.
