Managing Intrusive Thoughts
Intrusive thoughts are a common experience that can leave many feeling unsettled or confused. These are unwanted, involuntary thoughts that can pop into our minds without warning. They may be distressing, bizarre, or out of character, causing us to question their meaning or our own mental wellbeing. The good news is that intrusive thoughts are a normal part of human experience and do not reflect our true desires or intentions. Understanding them and learning strategies to manage them is key to reducing their impact.
