Why Intrusive Thoughts Keep Coming Back (And What to Do Differently)

Have you ever had a thought pop into your head that was so disturbing or out of character that you immediately wondered, “Why would I even think that?” Intrusive thoughts can feel incredibly real, and the more you try to analyze them, prove them wrong, or make them disappear, the harder they can be to shake. They can even leave you questioning what those thoughts say about you or your faith. 

In this episode, I'm talking about why intrusive thoughts keep coming back, why having an unwanted thought doesn’t mean it reflects who you are or what you believe, and how you can begin responding differently without feeling like you have to figure out or fight every thought that enters your mind.

Rooting for you,
Jessica
