In this episode Robert James explains how obsessive thinking can itself become the compulsion in pure OCD, why rumination feels urgent, and how mental compulsions reinforce the cycle.
He shares practical tools—grounding into the body, slowing down, using values for motivation, and postponing rumination—to help you spot, tolerate, and let go of unhelpful thinking patterns
