That's what i figured until i googled it. It turns out that intrusive thoughts can be a form of OCD. The obsession being the thoughts and the compulsion being the reassurance. Ex: a mother having intrusive thoughts about killing her infant is the obsession. the compulsion is her reassuring that she loves her child and would never harm them.
