13 分钟You're going through your day and out of nowhere, you have a thought that completely ruins your Tuesday.
And I get it.
I've had these before.
They are terrifying.
They usually go against what you value.
They're very, very scary.
They create a large degree of uncertainty and urgency.
And you just feel like you have to solve it.
You have to make it go away.
You have to figure out what it means.
And probably you're feeling a lot of shame and guilt for these thoughts.
Now, this is very common.
This is the nature of intrusive thoughts.
They are unwanted, repetitive and distressing.
And I here today want to teach you exactly what to do when you have those intrusive thoughts.
Scary thoughts because how you respond really does matter.
My name is Kimberly Quinlan.
I'm an anxiety and OCD specialist and I am on a mission to help 10 million people suffer less from anxiety.
It's a pretty crazy goal, I know, but I'm pretty sure I can get there.
It might take me decades, but that's totally okay.
