You already know that checking doesn't work. You check the lock, feel momentarily better, and within minutes the doubt is back. So you check again. And the cycle tightens. This worksheet gives you the tools to break that cycle — for good.
Built by a licensed therapist specializing in OCD, this comprehensive ERP resource covers all five major checking OCD presentations in one place. Whether your checking involves locks and appliances, hit and run fears, mistakes at work, reassurance seeking, or body checking — this worksheet has a hierarchy and response prevention plan built specifically for you.
What's inside:
A plain-language explanation of checking OCD and why checking makes the doubt stronger, not weaker.
A compulsions guide covering physical, mental, and reassurance-seeking compulsions — including the subtle mental reviewing that most people miss.
The golden rule of checking ERP — one mindful check is enough, the second check is always the OCD.
A long-term goals and values section to anchor your work in what matters.
A comprehensive list of exposure examples covering physical checking, hit and run OCD, mistake checking, reassurance seeking, and body checking.
Imaginal exposures for checking OCD.
A response prevention guide.
This worksheet is for you if: You have checking OCD and want a structured, comprehensive ERP tool, you are in therapy and want something to use between sessions, or you are a therapist looking for a client-facing checking OCD resource.
