Interesting "Tactic" To Rid Compulsions

[ashipinharbor]

Hi, everyone! Hope you are all well. I've had the odd off day, here and there, but I'm doing better than I was.

Anywho, I was watching videos about OCD, and I saw this therapist who had her clients do the compulsions, whenever they felt the need, but in a "Oh, I'll just do it, no big deal, it's just a compulsion" way.

I don't see how that would work, and I was wondering if y'all had any thoughts?

To be clear, I'm not considering trying it. I'm just curious what y'all think.

Sounds a bit weird to me.  For me, one compulsion would lead to another and another etc. As PolarBear says "Nobody ever got better from OCD by doing compulsions" (I may be paraphrasing a little here.... I can't be bothered to look his signature up!)
