The “frog in boiling water” metaphor is often used in therapy to describe how people sometimes adapt to unhealthy or harmful situations without realizing it, because the change happens so gradually. The story goes like this: If you drop a frog into boiling water, it will immediately jump out. But if you put a frog in cool water and slowly heat it, the frog won’t notice the danger and will stay until it boils. Adapting to unhealthy coping mechanisms without recognizing how harmful they’ve become.
