“During a calm moment—not mid-compulsion—you might say: "I know your brain is telling you that you need me to confirm things repeatedly, but when I do that, I'm actually making your OCD stronger. Starting tomorrow, I'm going to answer each question once, then redirect us to something else. This will feel uncomfortable for both of us, but it's how we stop feeding the cycle.”
