#686: The Real Reason You Have Intrusive Thoughts (And What to Do About Them)

Intrusive thoughts can feel disturbing, confusing, and incredibly convincing — especially when you don't understand why they show up or what they say about you.

In this episode, I'm breaking down:

• What intrusive thoughts actually are (and why they target what matters most to you)
• Why your brain produces them — even when nothing is "wrong"
• The biggest mistake people make when trying to get rid of intrusive thoughts
• How to create distance from a thought without fighting it or believing it

If you've ever thought, "Why would I even think this?" or "What does this say about me?" — this episode will help you feel calmer, clearer, and far less afraid of your own mind.

Intrusive thoughts don't mean what you think they mean — and today, we're unpacking why.
