I use https://github.com/fangfufu/Linux-Fake-Background-Webcam for blurring my background in apps that don’t support it. It shows how many connected clients there are. I noticed the count goes up/down every second when discord starts. I’ve been meaning to dig in more, but my hypothesis is that its taking a picture every second. It stopped when discord exited. This is unverified, so take with a grain of salt. It could of just been a coincident.

Its dated and probably misogynistic given the period, but when I did read it many many years ago, the broken record technique is probably the one thing I do remember. It also had some role play dialog for how others may try and break the loop. I found it helpful at the time.
I think I read/heard something similar in one of the Love and Logic parenting books/ebooks. “Maybe so, but <repeat assertion>” comes to mind. Acknowledge the statement that attempts to break the loop, don’t add any new information, and repeat the assertion.
