In this episode, I talk about some poor advice I saw on social media, encouraging people to “just pay more attention” when they ritualize the first time so that they don’t have to do it a second time.  I talk about..

– why this is bad advice for people who have OCD

– how this can snowball into more rituals in the future 

– what to do instead
