A lot of people ask: what’s the main compulsion in sensorimotor OCD? If you’re stuck on breathing OCD, swallowing OCD, blinking OCD, or heartbeat awareness, the sensations can feel constant — which makes it confusing to know what you’re “doing wrong.”

In this video, I explain the real compulsion that keeps sensorimotor OCD going for most people: rumination (overthinking, analysing, problem-solving, and trying to “figure it out”). When you ruminate, you train your brain to treat the sensations as a threat — which makes the awareness feel louder, stickier, and more distressing.

You’ll learn:
-Why rumination is the hidden compulsion in sensorimotor OCD
-How the mind creates catastrophic stories like “this will ruin my life”
-The key shift: letting sensations be there without judgement or fixing
-How to start becoming more outward-focused again (life, goals, values)

If you want support breaking this cycle, you can start with the free starter course (link above), or go deeper with my 12-week Sensorimotor OCD Program (link above).
