Predominantly compulsive acts [obsessional rituals] - Prevention
The best way to prevent obsessional rituals is to practice cognitive-behavioral therapy (cbt). cbt helps people to identify and challenge irrational thoughts and beliefs that can lead to compulsive behaviors. additionally, relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing, can be used to reduce the physical and mental tension that can trigger obsessional rituals. finally, support from family and friends can help to provide a sense of security and reassurance which can reduce the need to engage in compulsive behaviors.
