Ever felt trapped in a whirlwind of unwanted thoughts? In this episode of the Narcissism Recovery Podcast, Yitz Epstein dives into the complex world of intrusive thoughts and how they can wreak havoc on our mental well-being. Intrusive thoughts are those unwelcome, involuntary ideas or images that can become obsessions, causing distress and discomfort. Yitz explains where these thoughts come from and why they can be so troubling.
Drawing from Carl Jung's concept of the collective unconscious, he sheds light on how our thoughts are influenced by the collective energy field around us. But don't worry, Yitz doesn't leave you hanging! He offers practical advice on how to manage and even use these thoughts for personal growth and healing.
Using relatable metaphors like waves in the ocean and being in a boat, Yitz helps you understand that while you may be surrounded by these thoughts, you are not defined by them. By practicing non-reactivity and present moment awareness, you can observe your thoughts without becoming overwhelmed by them. This episode is a must-listen for anyone struggling with intrusive thoughts or looking to better understand their mental landscape.
