In episode 437, we delve into the complex relationship between intrusive thoughts, obsessive thinking, and the law of attraction, especially in the context of OCD. While the law of attraction suggests that we attract what we focus on, this concept can be particularly distressing for individuals struggling with OCD and anxiety, who often experience magical thinking.

We explore why this idea might be harmful and offer two evidence-based strategies to manage these thoughts effectively. Learn about thought labeling from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and discover mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) techniques to create distance from intrusive thoughts.

Gain practical tools to refocus on the present and live according to your values rather than your fears. Whether you're dealing with OCD or just looking to understand it better, this episode provides valuable insights and support.
