Anxiety + Understanding Intrusive Thoughts with Dr David A Clark

Here I’m joined by Dr David Clark, one of the world’s leading experts in anxiety disorders and cognitive behavioural therapy. This episode centres around intrusive thoughts, health anxiety, and the reassurance-seeking trap that so many anxious people find themselves caught in. We explore why those behaviours make sense and why they can become so compulsive. Dr Clark’s work has helped shape modern evidence-based treatments for anxiety disorders. If you’ve ever felt tormented by intrusive thoughts or stuck in loops of overthinking and reassurance-seeking, this episode is for you.
