You’re washing dishes. Or walking the dog. Or just about to fall asleep. And then out of nowhere – bam. One of those thoughts.

What if I just lost control and hurt someone?

What if I’m a danger to my own kid?

What if….

It doesn’t make sense. It’s not who you are.

You try to shake it off. Or Google it. Or find some distraction. But somehow, the harder you try, the louder it gets.

This episode is about what’s actually going on when these thoughts show up. Why they feel so urgent, even when they don’t reflect anything real. And why our automatic responses – fixing, analyzing, panicking – might be fueling the cycle more than we think.

If you’ve ever felt like a prisoner in your own head, this one’s worth a listen.
