Robert James explains how OCD tricks us into an endless game of chasing certainty—like whack-a-mole—keeping anxiety and compulsions alive.
He offers practical tools: ask whether a worry is probable or merely possible, reframe extreme thoughts by acknowledging improbability without demanding 100% proof, and use short postponement to tolerate uncertainty as a form of exposure.
These simple strategies create breathing room, reduce compulsive checking, and help loosen OCD’s hold so you can get on with your life
