Magical Thinking OCD Specialist

Examples of Magical Thinking OCD thoughts:

• What if my thoughts & rituals can make things happen (good & bad)?

• I must not think or picture something bad about my family otherwise I might make it happen

• If I have a bad thought then I must clap my hands three times in a row to make everything OK again

• Things/numbers need to be perfectly even & balanced otherwise something bad will happen?

The rules and rituals morph & grow over time, to the point where we become overwhelmed by them. This is why we need help from someone who has been where we are now.
