In this new episode, I am going to continue our discussion on resistance. As I pointed out in the first part of this series, resistance is the biggest hurdle in your recovery. So in this episode, I want to dive a little deeper and explain why resisting intrusive thoughts paradoxically creates more intrusive thoughts. I am also going to discuss why the very first thing you need to address with intrusive thoughts is your resistance to them. Enjoy the show.
