À propos de cette écoute

🧠 What Are “Evil” Intrusive Thoughts? Those unbidden, unsettling brain pop-ups that make you wonder, “Do I secretly want to push my friend into the pool… with their phone?” or “What if I yelled during a funeral?” Spoiler: having the thought ≠ being the person.

🎭 Storytime Moment Raheesh recounts the infamous “Grandma Laugh” incident—sitting through a heartfelt birthday slideshow when his brain screamed, “Cackle like the Joker!” Cue internal panic, dry mouth, and beads of shame sweat. He didn’t laugh, but the guilt spiral sure kicked in.

📜 Quote Break

“The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven.” – John Milton Intrusive thoughts are experts at turning peaceful moments into mental chaos.

💥 Why They Feel So Wrong Your moral compass is strong, so when your brain tosses out a violent or offensive “what-if,” you recoil hard. That disgust is proof you don’t actually mean it—you care too much to act on it.

🔄 How to Reframe It

  1. Name it. “That was an intrusive thought.”
  2. Thank your brain. It’s just trying to keep you safe.
  3. Practice radical self-compassion. Worth isn’t measured by fleeting thoughts.
  4. Laugh at the absurdity. Your brain really needs a nap.
