Just because I'm having the thought doesn't mean I have to act on that thought and fear.
Have you ever been gripped by the fear that you might harm yourself, even though you have no real intention or desire to do so? You're not alone. In this episode of 'The Anxious Truth', host Drew Linsalata sits down with OCD and anxiety specialist Kimberley Quinlan to tackle this deeply unsettling topic. They delve into the nature of intrusive thoughts and the paralyzing fear they can cause.
Kimberley offers practical advice on how to manage these thoughts and emphasizes that having a thought doesn't mean you have to act on it. The conversation is both compassionate and informative, providing listeners with tools to manage their anxiety and fears more effectively. Therapy's role in helping distinguish between fear and reality is also discussed, especially when it comes to suicidal ideation. This episode isn't just about managing symptoms; it's about breaking down the stigmas surrounding mental health.
If you or someone you know is struggling with these fears, this episode provides valuable insights and strategies to help regain control over your mental well-being.
