Part of what we are doing with A Change for Better is to help link you with high quality, accurate, up to date information. Today’s latest resource “What Are Intrusive Thoughts?” comes from Positive Psychology. 

Excerpt below:

Do you ever have intrusive thoughts popping into your head, unbidden and seemingly from thin air?

You might be just going about your day when—suddenly—your mind throws a crazy image or a bizarre thought at you, and you’re left scratching your head about what just happened.

The thought could be benign, like doing something embarrassing or socially unacceptable in public, or it could be more disturbing, like a thought about harming someone that you would never really want to harm.

Whatever random thought that you’ve found squatting in your mind’s territory, don’t worry—you’re not alone.
