Decreasing anxiety to a tolerable level. Compulsive behaviors in OCD are typically performed to reduce or manage anxiety. Cleaning and organizing are common coping mechanisms for clients with OCD. Focusing attention on useful tasks: The behavior is driven by anxiety, not productivity or utility. Manipulating and controlling others' behavior: OCD compulsions are typically not manipulative; they are self-directed responses to internal distress.
