Do you ever find yourself overthinking a situation or battling intrusive thoughts? This video will teach you the skill of cognitive defusion, which will help you separate yourself from your thoughts so that you can look at them rather than through them.
Intrusive thoughts can be scary, dark or painful. They can make you worry that you're losing your mind. they are associated with OCD but they can also just pop up out of nowhere. But Intrusive thoughts don't have to ruin your life.
Overthinking is another problem that many people face, constantly dwelling on thoughts or rehashing them over and over.
We swim through our thoughts like a fish swims through water. We don’t even notice that the way we think colors our view of the world.
Or sometimes we do notice thoughts that we don’t like, and then we don’t know what to do with them. Sometimes you fight them or struggle against them, but that doesn’t feel any better.
So sometimes you get stuck in an endless loop of overthinking, obsessively struggling against a thought. But that’s not any better, because struggle steals your attention and energy.
In this video you’re going to learn how to get unstuck from your intrusive thoughts and break free from patterns of overthinking. You’re going to learn how to look at your thoughts instead of through them.
This skill is called cognitive defusion.

In therapy I use a combination of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Systems Theory, positive psychology, and a bio-psycho-social approach to treating mental illness and other challenges we all face in life. The ideas from my videos are frequently adapted from multiple sources. Many of them come from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, especially the work of Steven Hayes, Jason Luoma, and Russ Harris. The sections on stress and the mind-body connection derive from the work of Stephen Porges (the Polyvagal theory), Peter Levine (Somatic Experiencing) Francine Shapiro (EMDR), and Bessel Van Der Kolk. I also rely heavily on the work of the Arbinger institute for my overall understanding of our ability to choose our life's direction.
And deeper than all of that, the Gospel of Jesus Christ orients my personal worldview and sense of security, peace, hope, and love www.churchofjesuschrist.org/comeuntochrist/believe

Always remind myself: "This is a thought, it's just a thought. I don't have to believe it. I don't have to act on it, I don't have to fight it. I can let it pass through."

I took a deep breath and started to tear up because the fact I had to look up videos to help me with my overthinking and industrial thoughts is crazy to me. I got emotional because I’ve always been a happy person and now I’ve just been stuck in my head and second guess everything I do , just because I keep replaying something someone said to me. I pray to god I get over this and can be myself again.

The fact that 4 million ppl (as of 2/6/23) came to watch this shows that we’re not alone in wanting to better ourselves.

"You can have thoughts without buying them." Is such a powerful line.

It kinda annoys me that we aren't taught anything like this in school. I have really bad anxiety and intrusive thoughts and haven't being taught anything about it which overall made it much more scary and more intense. Thank you for this video.

I wish schools starting from elementary would have a psychology subject so the kids can understand their emotions a little bit and that they’re not suffering alone <3

The thoughts always take over and I think myself out of happiness multiple times throughout the day. The thoughts will be bad things and it makes me scared and it can lead to an anxiety attack. Especially at night. I’m glad others feel the same way and I don’t feel as alone as I did.

I always tell myself in my mind "Thank you for your opinon, but no thanks."

When I was little I had trouble falling asleep because of anxious thoughts. My Mom taught me to picture my thoughts as little strings and would have me physically grab a handful of my string thoughts and place them on the nightstand by my bed. She told me they would be there for me tomorrow if I still wanted them, but since I set them aside I could just focus on sleep. I was only 8 or 9 then, but that was so helpful that I still do it now that I’m in my forties.

A tip: when I get anxious or have intrusive thoughts I think
"Here comes the intrusive, irrational thoughts"
That makes my brain snap back to reality, even if the thought is still there, I will be less anxious.
So not 100% but it helps with calming myself down.

It's so nice to see that I am not the only one out there dealing with this stuff, and there are people who have studied it and came up with tools for us to use. It's really nice

I've always considered myself inmune to anxiety. All my life has been filled with so many deaths, obstacles, stress and chaos since I was a child, however I never had anxiety. Ironically, these last months when my life has finally become peaceful and stable, i have found myself more anxious than ever. These videos really helped me put things into perspective and understand what's behind my anxiety. Thank you for this.

"You don't have to believe everything you think." I LOVE that!

I find it helpful to say in my head "oh, I feel anxious, this is what it feels like to be anxious". It kind of stops the emotional experience from taking over the mind.

Something that helped keep intrusive thoughts away was having some blocking thoughts in mind like some phrase like "stop thinking of some garbage", "this is not my concern" etc. It prevents engaging the negative thoughts , bad memories, prevents replying to it , analyzing it. The goal of a blocking thought should be to not give any value to a negative thought and discard it. Although these blocking thoughts only work if your brain is healthy, if you're depressed and have low serotonin or an overactive amygdala, the negative thoughts are gonna be more frequent and stronger. so fix your brain chemicals first with some omega 3 fish oil, 5htp, sunlight , exercise , going outside everyday, meditation, green tea etc. After your brain is normal again, using some blocking thoughts to block out negative thoughts worked great

Thank you! I went to therapy for months and he kept telling me "be mindful, be mindful." but I could NOT shut down the thoughts without spiraling or having to be distracted from the thought. I needed these tools and I'm about to cry with relief that I finally have the resources that might be able to help.
