Obsession + Evidence + Possibility = Oh Sh*t?

from OCD Straight Talk · host Chris Leins, MA, NCC, LPCC-S

Chris presents the idea that there's always some evidence, some reason to perceive intrusive thoughts as reality. This coupled with the reasonable possibility of feared outcomes heightens anxiety for OCDers. Evidence makes the thoughts feel real ... even if the evidence can point to several conclusions. So the question isn't, Can I dismantle or disprove the evidence; it's, Can I tolerate the uncertainty. It's, Can I act as if my intrusive thoughts aren't happening? Feel free to reach out with any questions you might have to [email protected].
