Internet compulsions are tough

Episode Notes Internet compulsions are one of the hardest parts of OCD today. Research compulsions are everywhere. Reddit threads. Google searches. AI chats. Endless “just one more check” loops looking for certainty or reassurance. And there’s an added difficulty. The internet itself is highly addictive and difficult to regulate even without OCD. That’s why response prevention here sometimes needs more than willpower. Assistive technologies that block apps or websites on schedules can give people real space to build skills and break compulsive habits. Just like glasses help someone see, tools can help people practice the inner work of resisting compulsions. Therapists should be talking about this more and even learning these tools themselves.
