Overcoming Unwanted Intrusive Thoughts
A CBT-Based Guide to Getting Over Frightening, Obsessive, or Disturbing Thoughts
Authors: Sally M. Winston, PsyD & Martin N. Seif, PhD
Overview
You are not your thoughts! Millions of people experience intrusive thoughts—unwanted, frightening, or disturbing images and ideas that can trigger shame, anxiety, and endless rumination. In this compassionate, practical guide, two leading anxiety experts draw on decades of clinical work to show you how to stop struggling with these thoughts and start living your life again.
Grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), the book explains why trying to suppress or fight intrusive thoughts backfires, and offers evidence-based skills to reduce their power. By learning to recognize thoughts for what they are—just thoughts—you can break free from the guilt, dread, and confusion they cause.
What You’ll Learn
- Why intrusive thoughts happen and what they don’t mean about you
- How myths and “common-sense” strategies make things worse
- Ways to unhook from rumination and the reassurance-seeking cycle
- Proven CBT techniques for coping with and moving beyond intrusive thoughts
- How to reclaim peace of mind without fear, shame, or secrecy
