I take many baths a day for sometimes and have been for years and years. but it has nothing to do with having OCD and so on. I have found that taking baths are very relaxing for me. My friends all know that it is not a strange thing to call me and catch me in the bath tub wearing a bathing suit and reading a book, or writing or drawing and so on. I have even been known to pull the tv around the corner so that I could watch tv while relaxing in a nice bath.I also listen to my relaxation cd's and tapes while in the bath.

Taking many baths cant hurt a person other than drying out their skin. But I use body lotion and bath oils to take care of that.

I also take many showers. It is so relaxing standing or sitting under a warm - hot shower. Feels like getting a massage only for free.

I see nothing wrong with taking as many baths and showers as you want to. and each of my 19 therapists I have had over the years have highly recommended baths and showers in the therapy process.
