I try not to get obssessive because the more I think those thoughts, the more anxious I get and the more they comsume me.Is "forced distraction" a controlled way to allow yourself to think those kind thoughts without provoking a lot of anxiety? The technique wouldn't be too useful if there was still anxiety associated with the thoughts. I guess I don't really understand what "forced distraction" is, so I don't know how to try it to see if it helps.
