Tickle therapy sounds great for OCD. :) In fact anything that bursts the bubble of importance that OCD assumes is good for it I think. Laughing at the obsessions seems to lessen them. One of my favorite tips comes from the book "Stop Obsessing!: How to Overcome Your Obsessions and Compulsions" by Edna B. Foa (I think). I sing the obsession. At the top of my lungs to the worst tune I can think of. Just don't use a nursery rhyme tune, that just makes the thoughts creepy (at least for me).
