Story
Worrying in itself is not a bad thing. It shows you care. When it gets to that constant and obsessive point, though, it inhibits success. You become paralyzed by fear of making a mistake, causing you to not act. Overthinking is a self-destructive behavior, taking a serious toll on both your mental and physical health. You will develop anxiety, which not only causes emotional suffering, but over time will affect your heart, digestive, and nervous system, as well as many other systems in the body. The first step to fixing a problem is understanding exactly what is going on.

An estimated five million Americans suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and live diminished lives in which they are compelled to obsess about something or to repeat a similar task over and over. Traditionally OCD has been treated with Prozac or similar drugs. The problem with medication, aside from its cost, is that 30 percent of people treated don't respond to it, and when the pills stop, the symptoms invariably return.

Story
Panic attacks are very common. Nearly a quarter of all adults will experience at least one panic attack in their lifetime. If you’re reading this, you’re probably one of those people. Even when panic attacks are isolated experiences, the effects can be very disruptive and upsetting. If you experience panic attacks more frequently, the impact is even more devastating and often comes with other unpleasant consequences, including public embarrassment, increased general anxiety, and physical side effects, such as gastrointestinal issues.
Summary
You are not your thoughts! In this powerful book, two anxiety experts offer proven-effective cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) skills to help you get unstuck from disturbing thoughts, overcome the shame these thoughts can bring, and reduce your anxiety.
If you suffer from unwanted, intrusive, frightening, or even disturbing thoughts, you might worry about what these thoughts mean about you. Thoughts can seem like messages - are they trying to tell you something? But the truth is that they are just thoughts, and don’t necessarily mean anything. Sane and good people have them. If you are someone who is plagued by thoughts you don’t want - thoughts that scare you, or thoughts you can’t tell anyone about - this book may change your life.
In this compassionate guide, you’ll discover the different kinds of disturbing thoughts, myths that surround your thoughts, and how your brain has a tendency to get “stuck” in a cycle of unwanted rumination. You’ll also learn why common techniques to get rid of these thoughts can backfire. And finally, you’ll learn powerful cognitive behavioral skills to help you cope with and move beyond your thoughts, so you can focus on living the life you want. Your thoughts will still occur, but you will be better able to cope with them - without dread, guilt, or shame.
If you have unwanted thoughts, you should remember that you aren’t alone. In fact, there are millions of people just like you -good people who have awful thoughts, gentle people with violent thoughts, and sane people with “crazy” thoughts. This book will show you how to move past your thoughts so you can reclaim your life!
This book has been selected as an Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies Self-Help Book Recommendation - an honor bestowed on outstanding self-help books that are consistent with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) principles and that incorporate scientifically tested strategies for overcoming mental health difficulties. Used alone or in conjunction with therapy, our books offer powerful tools listeners can use to jump-start changes in their lives.
Critic reviews
“This important book is essential and mandatory reading for anyone affected by unwanted and intrusive thoughts, and their health providers. The authors crystallize decades of experience into a perfectly clear and readable guide. The solution to this misunderstood problem is in this book.” (Joseph A. Adams, MD, medical director at Baltimore Health Systems and Step By Step of Maryland, LLC, and past president at Smoke Free Maryland)
“I wish I would have had access to this book twenty years ago! Sally Winston and Martin Seif have put all the pieces of the puzzle together to help people understand and overcome unwanted intrusive thoughts. This is a must-read book, packed with information to help people suffering with anxiety-provoking intrusive thoughts, as well as clinicians who are trying to help them.” (Kimberly J. Morrow, LCSW, maintains a private practice in Erie, PA; specializes in the treatment of anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD); provides training and case consultation for clinicians through www.anxietytraining.com; and is author of Face It and Feel It)
“It turns out that commonsense approaches to stopping our worries, such as pushing thoughts away, arguing with them, or seeking reassurance, actually feed these worries and help them grow. Sally Winston and Martin Seif—two of the brightest minds in our field - deliver a simple yet powerful two-step process for change.” (Reid Wilson, PhD, author of Stopping the Noise in Your Head)

Having struggled with OCD thinking and intrusive thoughts for as long as I can remember, making my life a misery, despite having lots in my life that I love and lots of therapy, this has been life changing. I would recommend this to anyone but especially ‘over-thinkers’. I have also reduced my alcohol intake at the same time so I think this has a part to play.

Some really hard hitting bits in this book but handles well, soft approach with no nonsense where approrpiate.
The narrator became very monotonous though so had to listen in many parts and I feel this would limit me wanting to listen again. I do however think I would revisit but with the hard copy of the book as the content is good.

When I first started reading this book, I have been already talking to a counselor but I wanted more. I have gone through unwanted thoughts 4 years ago but never knew what they were until now. This book has given me a different outlook that my counselor could not touch on. I recommend it to people who think they are alone with their thoughts. You are not.

Don’t pass it up. If you have intrusive thoughts you must listen.
I don’t even know where to begin. I suffer with violent intrusive and harmful thoughts about myself and others. All from OCD. This book changed my life. She gives real examples. The author was literally saying what was in my head. I felt so encouraged. You will receive good methods to re wire the brain. It’s work though. You have to do it. You’ve waited this long. Listen to this book if you want help managing your intrusive thoughts. The stigma can be undone.

helps immensely
helped me so much with my PTSD-induced intrusive thoughts. though the examples provided are based in OCD intrusions and might not necessarily relate to your personally stuck thought, the steps to change the way you relate to your thoughts and create different neural pathways to ensure a different bodily response are just as potent all the same.
if you’re on the fence, just buy it, or use your credit. worth every penny if you’re suffering by the hand of your own mind.

I have struggled with disturbing thoughts since I was a child. Vivid painful thoughts that would overwhelm me to the point where I would react physically. This book is the first thing that actually gets it and gives real steps to take to make them stop. I also realized how much of my thoughts, not just the disturbing/painful ones, were 'intrusive'. Thoughts I would get stuck on and let loop in my brain. This book helped a lot.

This book changed my life.
I’m currently dealing with a B12 deficiency and one of the symptoms that comes with that is OCD. I’d never experienced it before, these intrusive thoughts that used to really take hold of me and send me spiraling, but this book changed all that.
I’m looking forward to getting my vitamin level up and putting all this behind me, but I don’t dread the thoughts anymore, because, they’re just that, powerless thoughts that will eventually fade away into the ether.

Only complaint is the book closing on what NOT to do. It leaves you with what you’d best forget! Would prefer to leave off on the correct response to intrusive thought.
