If intrusive thoughts are still showing up, it can feel like recovery isn’t working. In reality, that belief often keeps the cycle alive. You start scanning your mind all day, checking whether the thoughts are gone yet, then using the fact that they’re still there as proof you’re doing something wrong.

Healing from intrusive thoughts doesn’t begin when the thoughts disappear. It begins when you stop treating them like warnings, problems or reflections of who you are.

In this episode, I explain how to stop confusing healing with failure. Instead of asking, “Why are these thoughts still here?” I’ll show you how to recognize real change and why those shifts, which you might not notice at first, actually matter.

You’ll learn:

• the five signs that show healing is happening
• how intrusive thoughts lose power before they disappear
• why response time matters more than thought presence

If you want a clearer way to tell you’re moving forward, this episode will show you what to look for. Tune in.
