113: The Origin Of Intrusive Thoughts & How To Stop Them


Listen Later

You're not a freak.

I used to feel like there was something deeply wrong with me because of the thoughts that would barge their way into my head at the most random, inappropriate moments.

But judging yourself and trying to force the intrusive thoughts away has much the same effect as when we do the same with skin picking, hair pulling, and nail biting - it just makes things worse. Sometimes destructively worse.

I hear you. I see you.

Let's work on this together.

What you'll learn:
🌟Where your intrusive thoughts are coming from
🌟The unexpected connection to chronic picking, pulling, or biting
🌟3 questions to generate a powerful perspective shift and deep healing

Here are the 3 questions from this episode. Save them in your phone for future reference:
How does it make me feel? 
What does that feeling make me want to do?
What is this behaviour protecting me from?
