episode 17: S01E16 - How to Deal with Intrusive Thoughts
Intrusive thoughts are normal, and everyone has them. They can be triggered by stress, anxiety, and other factors, and can be a symptom of certain mental health conditions. The key to dealing with intrusive thoughts is to acknowledge them, let them pass, and practice self-compassion. In today’s episode, I will be going over this in greater detail and provide helpful tips and techniques for managing it. Techniques like thought challenging, setting aside a designated worry period, practicing relaxation techniques, and challenging negative thought patterns. It's important to take care of yourself and seek support when needed. If intrusive thoughts are causing significant distress or impacting your daily life, it's a good idea to seek help from a mental health professional.
