What is my checking trying to prevent?

Sometimes checking isn't about thinking something bad will happen. It's about not being able to live with it being your fault. These questions help you see what the urge is actually after.

How it works1. Answer whichever questions you can. Skip the rest.2. Short answers are fine.3. Print it or save it as a PDF, and bring it to therapy if you're in it.Nothing you type is saved or sent.

This is for reflection, not treatment. If checking is taking up a lot of your day, ERP with a trained clinician is the approach with the strongest evidence for OCD.
