TW: This episode includes in-depth examples of intrusive thoughts


In this solo episode, I discuss all things intrusive thoughts, from when my intrusive thoughts first began; to how intrusive thoughts contributed to my postpartum anxiety and depression; to how I have been experiencing them lately during this second pregnancy. I share specific examples of my intrusive thoughts and how certain events have triggered them in the past, the challenge of not wanting to be a helicopter parent during intense bouts of anxiety, things I’m currently trying to do to help, and more.


Key Takeaway / Points:

  • A recent overstimulating experience I had at the vet
  • How overstimulation sometimes feels like intrusive thoughts
  • When my intrusive thoughts began
  • Intrusive thoughts vs. impulsive thoughts
  • How intrusive thoughts contributed to my postpartum anxiety and depression
  • Experiencing an uptick of intrusive thoughts during this second pregnancy
  • On not wanting to be a helicopter parent despite experiencing intense anxiety
  • On linking PTSD to my intrusive thoughts
  • Things I’m doing to try to help
