This conversation dives deep into the nature of intrusive, obsessive, and unwanted thoughts, offering listeners practical advice and strategies to regain control. They also tackle common myths about these thoughts and discuss the role of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in exacerbating them. Dr. Seif emphasizes the importance of understanding your personal background and the dynamics that can make these thoughts worse.
