Description

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.
