In this episode, I explain one of the most overlooked aspects of OCD: mental compulsions. While many people recognize compulsions as visible behaviors like checking, washing, or arranging things, mental compulsions happen internally and can be much harder to identify. These can include rumination, mental reviewing, counting, praying, catastrophizing, or repeatedly trying to figure something out in order to reduce anxiety, uncertainty, or discomfort.
