Whenever I am trying to stop rumination, it always tricks me by making me replay past situations and looking for something to apologize for. Trying to decide if an action was bad enough that I need to tell someone about it or if I hurt someone’s feelings with something I said or did. That’s the way I always fall back into rumination. But I try to remind myself that even an apology wouldn’t fix everything.
Let your mind ruminate, but turn your "thinking mind" away from rumination by delaying, by procrastination, or saying "thanks mind, I'll ruminate soon, I'll just shelve the rumination for efficiency while I do x,yz"
Great CBT methodology and ERP. And OCD is exactly the primadonna mental illness- mine always said it was unique and different, till I found out and argued back "You're exactly the same as everyone else's! Bring it on anxiety give me extra painful towel-whip feelings this time! I love my heart racing and stomach churning!"
I think the key here is the fact that you’re ruminating. The content of your rumination is irrelevant. Sit with the feelings and turn to an engaging activity. Resist the compulsion to keep ruminating.

I get into a trap where I want to be distracted all the time so I can't think about anything else.
Now this is a good video from ocd specialists. There’s still too much being taught about the traditional habituation focus erp. This style of using rumination focused erp is more effective.
Understanding and labeling that you we ruminatining rumination is no good it just a loop of constant suffering. we create more problems than answers when we ruminate It might be difficult at first but eventually it will get better

Just leave it stay with you! Don’t fight against it! Welcome the rumination and everything around it

Understanding and labeling that you we ruminatining
rumination is no good it just a loop of constant suffering.
we create more problems than answers when we ruminate
It might be difficult at first but eventually it will get better
Automatic rumination is hard, especially with real/false memory what if you did that because of XYZ then I would remind myself that I wouldn't do that
It’s rather illusory …
