I’ve been sitting through resisting compulsions all day but I’m struggling to let go of some mental reassurance. Mainly because it’s very automatic. Any tips on how to reduce this?

I just try to catch the reassurance compulsion and say to myself or out loud if that helps better (sometimes it does) -- “i acknowledge that I'm feeling fear, and I acknowledge my compulsions are trying to reduce my anxiety, but I release this compulsion, and embrace the unknown.” Honestly, some variation of that, whatever works for you, but basically, catching it while it's happening and verbally telling yourself to release it has greatly helped me. Hope it helps. ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

What are tips on how. Because it seems like I automatically give myself a response
