I had my first therapy appointment today! My therapist gave me really good advice. She said to think of intrusive thoughts as the annoying kid in class, you don’t give them attention because if you do they will keep going.

Wow that is such a great way of looking at it. So, when you get an intrusive thought what exactly do you do to treat them like the annoying kid?

Well one thing I’ve delt with is the guilt of not giving your intrusive thoughts attention. Because then you worry “oh did I like that thought?” But this is just advice to make you not feel bad, because you don’t feel bad or atleast you shouldn’t when you’re ignoring the annoying kid in class.
