“In addition, because compulsions provide short-term relief from anxiety, they reinforce the obsession’s perceived validity. Each time you respond to an obsession with a compulsion, you confirm the belief that the fear is “dangerous” and repetitively set off the FFF response. Ironically, when you perform a compulsion, you are also more likely to experience the return of that obsession, because the compulsion is a reminder of the obsession itself.”
