Whenever I am trying to stop rumination, it always tricks me by making me replay past situations and looking for something to apologize for. Trying to decide if an action was bad enough that I need to tell someone about it or if I hurt someone’s feelings with something I said or did. That’s the way I always fall back into rumination. But I try to remind myself that even an apology wouldn’t fix everything.

Let your mind ruminate, but turn your "thinking mind" away from rumination by delaying, by procrastination, or saying "thanks mind, I'll ruminate soon, I'll just shelve the rumination for efficiency while I do x,yz"

Great CBT methodology and ERP. And OCD is exactly the primadonna mental illness- mine always said it was unique and different, till I found out and argued back "You're exactly the same as everyone else's! Bring it on anxiety give me extra painful towel-whip feelings this time! I love my heart racing and stomach churning!"

I think the key here is the fact that you’re ruminating. The content of your rumination is irrelevant. Sit with the feelings and turn to an engaging activity. Resist the compulsion to keep ruminating.
