Understanding Recurring Thoughts
- Recognize that recurring thoughts about various themes are not true uncertainty.
- You're not ruminating about every past thought but focusing on the most recent few.

- Recognize that similar thoughts have occurred countless times without the feared outcome.

- They don't ruminate, obsess, seek reassurance, or engage in compulsions like those with OCD.
