In addition to systematic desensitization, people with OCD may benefit from some cognitive therapy techniques such as challenging irrational thoughts. ("There is no reason on earth why my child should suddenly die") or thought saturation. Thought saturation is when the therapist actually encourages the client to focus on and think about a disturbing idea. Imagine exactly what it would feel like to walk into the room and find your child dead. Picture it in your mind over and over. After awhile, the idea will begin to lose its power, just as your own name will lose its meaning if you say it over and over.
