About this episode

Welcome to our Episode 3 of the Intrusive Thoughts Series. After looking at intrusive thoughts in OCD, GAD and Panic. We are moving to intrusive thoughts in #depression and #lowselfesteem. Common examples include thoughts like: “I am worthless.” “I’m unlovable.” “Nothing ever goes right for me.” “I’m a failure.” Over time, intrusive thoughts can feel automatic, chronic, and fused with identity, making them seem like an unchangeable part of oneself. We have a small meditation for self-esteem at the end of the episode. Remember: intrusive thoughts do not define who you are. With practice and support, you can manage them, reclaim your mental space, and nurture your emotional well-being. Please subscribe, leave a comment if you wish to ask aquestion or make a request.
