Hello, welcome to Jason newland.com. My name is Jason Newland, this is relaxation, hypnosis for stress, anxiety and panic attacks. And, yeah, please only listen when you can safely Close your eyes. And in today's recording, I'm going to talk about intrusive thoughts. Yay. Doesn't that sound yummy, intrusive thoughts. And before I start, I'd like to say a big thank you to Allie. And so I'm trying to think this, I'll talk a little bit about my intrusive thoughts. And I'll just see what happens. I don't know you. I don't always know where the recordings gonna go. Which is okay, I think. But it always comes down to the same sentence. With all these recordings always comes back to the same sentence. Be kind to yourself. So wherever we start off, in fact, I'd like to start from that, be kind to yourself, but wherever we go, it always comes back down to that line of Be kind to yourself. Remember, to be kind to yourself, which is not always very easy. It's not always very easy. But still needs to be done, needs to be remembered need to, if you can bring it back to that. Or else Or else. And I also like to thank everyone for listening to recordings on this podcast, because this is now the pretty much one of the most popular podcasts out of all the ones I've got. I'm averaging over 1000 downloads a day, just on the the in some specific podcast, that's about the other places, it's it's as well. So thank you, and I'm glad that it's well hopefully it's useful. intrusive thoughts, intrusive thoughts? What are they? kind of obvious question, obvious answer to the question, but is it? Maybe it is rather big, big gap of silence there? Well, I always thought intrusive thoughts. This is what I used to think they were
is when your mind is telling you do that thing. To do something, for example. We hear in extreme a horrible court cases, you know, you hear that the person says, will love my job. I heard voices telling me I had to do this to do this horrible act.
That's what I used to. That's what I used to class is intrusive force. So I never used to really think that I had them
by don't hear a voice. Then have it hear a voice saying do this. It's not like it's outside of myself, or it's a different person. I don't have that. And that's that could be a much. You know, that's that could be a different mental health issue completely. And it's not necessarily intrusive thoughts. Could be I guess, but I'm going to talk about the kind of intrusive thoughts that I experience. And maybe you can relate to this. And I'm not sure how much I want to share with you. So to be fair, is a little embarrassed about some of the intrusive thoughts that I've had over time. So OCD has been you know if you if you look if you look at intrusive thoughts go online look at the books so very much paired up with OCD as far as the literature the books about intrusive thinking intrusive thoughts any idea is just thinking of things you don't want to think you know so it's not like another voice speech your issue think about stuff that you don't want to think about so it's a split thing isn't it is like if you is and we have that in other situations so definitely you can be with your with someone that it could be your best friend's partner and you can be attracted to them and you know that he can't nothing could ever happen but you're not you know you're a human being and the attraction is a natural chemical reaction to the other person is not something you can control you can remove yourself from the situation of course and you can also perhaps feel guilty for it. It's guilt doesn't really I think if it stops you doing anything that's gonna harm yourself or your friend then I suppose guilt could be useful but not a big fan of guilt. not a huge fan of it. It's overrated so the idea that we have these thoughts they just come into your mind we...
