About this listen

In this episode, we talk about anxiety and intrusive thoughts, including what is often referred to as Pure O OCD. We explore why intrusive thoughts feel so distressing, why they latch onto what matters most, and how anxiety keeps them active. Drawing on my experience as a therapist and as someone who has been there, we begin to separate thoughts from threat and make sense of why the mind behaves this way under anxiety.
