Relationship OCD Episode 3

Have you heard of the story with the frog and boiling water? If you put a frog in boiling water that is already hot and bubbling, the frog will jump out. But if you put a frog in a pot of water at room temperature and gradually build the boil, the frog does not jump out and will eventually die. This makes sense even with OCD because we don’t automatically fall for these extreme beliefs that our OCD tries to trick us into believing. But we can slowly fall into the traps and giving in more and more until we’re overwhelmed.
