Publisher's Synopsis
Statistics show that every single human will or would have had an intrusive thought at least once in their life. It is perfectly normal. However, some people may find it more arduous to control the way they react to those thoughts.
To deal with intrusive thoughts, one must understand that it is almost impossible to stop thinking altogether. The trick to dealing with intrusive thoughts is to learn and train yourself to react to these thoughts healthily.
This book aims to help you with just that - learn how to take back control of your life. Learn how to react to intrusive thoughts, and in the process, reduce anxiety and the panic attacks that come along with it.
Before we go further, I would like to mention how important it is to understand that healing is not something that can happen overnight. The techniques mentioned in this book will take time and energy to implement. It is a journey that we will make together, and over time, we will get to a point where we will be able to manage our brains effectively.
As Alan Watts once mentioned, thinking is not a bad thing. Intrusive thoughts are not a bad thing - they do not define who you are as a human. We could think about something as hard as we can, but they are not our reality. It becomes our reality once we put action to the thought.
By the end of this book, we should have the knowledge and tools that are needed to stop dwelling on these thoughts, ease our anxiety, and lessen our depression. Without further ado, let us begin the journey to taking back control of our minds and our lives!
