About this listen

Have you ever stood on a cliff edge and felt a sudden urge to jump? Or held a newborn and visualized dropping them?

In this episode, Alice and Marc tackle the terrifying phenomenon of Intrusive Thoughts and the Call of the Void. Far from being a sign of madness, discover why these dark flashes are actually "Misinterpreted Safety Signals" generated by a hyper-vigilant brain.

From the High Place Phenomenon to the critical difference between Ego-Dystonic (unwanted) and Ego-Syntonic thoughts, learn why your horror is the ultimate proof of your sanity and why the "vertigo of freedom" scares us all.
