Have you ever had a thought so disturbing that you instantly felt fear or shame? Intrusive thoughts can show up out of nowhere—especially when you’re stressed, exhausted, or caring deeply for others—and they can make you question your sanity or goodness. But here’s the truth: these thoughts don’t mean anything about who you are. In this episode, we’ll unpack what intrusive thoughts really are, why your brain produces them, and how to calm your body so they lose their power. You’ll learn gentle, evidence-based ways to meet these thoughts with compassion instead of fear, regain a sense of safety in your body, and remember that you are not your thoughts—you are the steady observer behind them.
