Intrusive Thoughts and the Journey to Recovery: A Group Therapy Session
“If you start pretending to feel, you will all of a sudden start to feel. I can't put an amount of time on it like seconds. If you literally pretended to care for A Week, but like really committed to it by Week number two, you'd find: oh my god, I'm actually caring now for real, and it really works.”
