If we try and get rid of the thoughts, we can fuel them by not dealing with them properly, and the harder we try and suppress them... we have to, we find ourselves judging everything.
Ever found yourself trapped in a loop of unwanted thoughts? In this episode of 'Sideways', hosts Graham Landi and Martin Pankhurst tackle the tricky subject of intrusive thoughts. These are the thoughts that pop into your head uninvited and refuse to leave, often causing a whirlwind of anxiety and stress. Graham and Martin break down where these thoughts come from and why they can be so distressing.
They don't just stop at the problem; they also offer practical advice on how to manage and reduce the power of these thoughts. Mindfulness and self-compassion take center stage as tools to help you cope. But it's not all heavy; Martin gets sentimental about swings, Graham grumbles about long school holidays, and they both find joy in dogs chasing butterflies and punting. The episode is a blend of serious insights and light-hearted moments, making it both informative and enjoyable.
If you're dealing with intrusive thoughts or just curious about how to better manage anxiety and addiction, this episode offers a mix of expert advice and personal anecdotes that make complex issues feel more manageable.
