Have you read "Stop Obsessing!" or "Brain Lock"? They each have some useful tricks in helping the OCD. The cognitive behavior treatment for OCD does seem like a bag of tricks, but if you put enough useful tricks in your bag it really is helpful. I preferred "Stop Obsessing" and two of my favorite tricks are singing the obession, and bringing the obsession to its logical conclusion. When I do the latter, I make it as compltely outrageous as I can. Obsessions don't seem to like being laughted at (or at least mine don't) and often go away when I can manage it. But that's my bag of tricks, yours might be different.
