This video is the latest in the series, OCD Tricks, where we look at some of the reasoning traps that can lead to the development and maintenance of OCD obsessions. This time we look at the justification "It's possible," which can seem very logical, but is ultimately not a good reason to focus on a concern. This comes to us from Inference Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT).
