And, most people take it in as art and believe in some way that it's real, even though they know it's not. I think this is the same thing with OCD. We intuitively know our fears are not real but we have a hard time not believing them. We doubt our own intuition. So, the practice is to trust our intuition. If you doubt it, it's 99.9999% untrue or not real. And, what do I say to OCD when it's trying to make me believe? "Thanks for sharing, I'm not caring." JC <3
