You’re holding a knife and suddenly think, What if I lost control and hurt someone? 

Or maybe you’re driving and out of nowhere, What if I just swerved off the road? 

The thought horrifies you, so you try to push it away, analyze it, replace it with something positive… but it just keeps coming back. The more you fight it, the stronger it gets. 

Sound familiar?

Here’s the truth: intrusive thoughts don’t mean anything about you. They’re not dangerous, and they’re not a sign of who you really are. They’re just the result of a sensitized nervous system stuck in high alert. And the key to getting rid of them? It’s not about control – it’s about response.
