Understanding your intrusive thoughts - we all think weird stuff!

Ever had a thought pop into your head that made you go, “Wait — what?! Where did that come from?” In this episode, we break down: • What intrusive thoughts actually are • Why they happen (even when you don’t want them to) • What makes them worse — and what can help you manage them Join me, Heidi Lester, your host. I've over 25 years of counselling experience working with young people just like you, and I know how bothersome intrusive thoughts can be. So let's spend time together talking about why the brain throws out random, unwanted thoughts and why trying to 'stop' them will actually make them worse for you. This episode is here to remind you: intrusive thoughts are common, treatable, and say nothing about your worth or identity. If you’ve been silently struggling with thoughts you don’t understand — you are not alone, and there is help.
