Mantras

Mantra work is a common practice within both the therapy sphere and also in non-therapy settings. Mantras can provide motivation to work on taking actionable steps toward one’s goals, especially when the process is challenging, making them helpful to integrate into one’s OCD recovery process. However, it is important to develop mantras that assist with the therapeutic process and do not provide reassurance, which is a compulsion, as this will reinforce the OCD.
