Where in your life have you put up with gradual deterioration until it's too late? 🔥The use of the blow torch in this video might seem a bit shocking. But it is there to represent how harshly the heat can be turned up once we are trapped in a situation by our tendency to adjust rather than address problems. We might become broken down or weakened by the ever increasing toxicity of a situation. So, whether it's a workplace, a relationship, a personal situation or a wider problem of town or country, the boiling frog metaphor speaks volumes about the potential consequences of not addressing small changes until it's too late. Note: The boiling frog metaphor came from an experiment that was done over 150 years ago. The original theory has since been contested by modern biologists. But the value in the fable remains. No animals were harmed in this video. 🐸 👉 My new book ‘Open When...’ is finally available to order (link in bio) Also check out my million copy bestselling 1st book ‘Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before?’ Both are available across the world in over 35 languages. 📷 Instagram - https://instagram.com/drjulie 🎥 TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@drjuliesmith 🙋‍♀️ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/DrJulieSmith 🐦 Twitter - https://twitter.com/Dr_Julie_Smith 🖥️ Website - www.doctorjuliesmith.com 📘 My No.1 Bestselling New Book Is Out Now 👉 https://linktr.ee/drjuliesmith WHO AM I: I'm a clinical psychologist.
