I've tried the cognitive techniques and I read S*T*O*P Obsessing and I guess they were useful but...
I never have been able to stop the intrusive thoughts. I have, however, learned to ignore many of the ones I've had before and even to find them amusing. But those darn intrusive thoughts are tricky. When I get used to the old ones, new ones pop up and it takes me a while to learn to recognize them for what they are. There are a few intrusive thoughts/urges that I have never gotten used to.
So I'd say my success with cognitive techniques has been mixed.
