Magical thinking is an illogical thought pattern characterized by the linking of unrelated actions or events.

Individuals may become preoccupied with:

►Reciting or thinking of certain words, names, sounds, images, phrases, or numbers.
►Moving one’s body or gesturing in a special way.
►Stepping in special ways or on special spots when walking.
►Arranging objects or possessions in a special order.
►Performing physical actions in reverse.
►Thinking thoughts in reverse.
►Performing behaviors at special times or on particular dates.
►Repeating one’s own words, or the words of others.
►Touching certain things in a special way or a particular number of times.

The individual may link them to a catastrophe or that 'bad things’ may happen.
The individual with ‘magical thinking’ OCD truly believes and lives by these rules and feared consequences, and may believe that the mere act of thinking certain things may result in the occurrence of a feared event.
