Welcome back to CBT, EMDR, and Beyond—I’m Jaime, a therapist and supervisor specialising in trauma-informed care. In this episode, we explore intrusive thoughts through the lens of trauma, PTSD, and complex PTSD.

You’ll learn how traumatic memories can resurface as vivid flashbacks, body sensations, or emotional spirals—and why these intrusions feel so real. We’ll unpack the difference between single-event and complex trauma, explore how everyday triggers like social media or sensory cues can reactivate old wounds, and offer gentle grounding tools to help you return to the present.

This episode is for insight, not exposure—you won’t be asked to revisit painful memories. We close with a short breathing exercise to support calm and connection.

If your mind feels haunted by the past, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and a path toward healing.

Welcome to our Episode 3 of the Intrusive Thoughts Series.

After looking at intrusive thoughts in OCD, GAD and Panic. We are moving to intrusive thoughts in #depression and #lowselfesteem.

Common examples include thoughts like:

• “I am worthless.”
• “I’m unlovable.”
• “Nothing ever goes right for me.”
• “I’m a failure.”

Over time, intrusive thoughts can feel automatic, chronic, and fused with identity, making them seem like an unchangeable part of oneself.

We have a small meditation for self-esteem at the end of the episode.

Remember: intrusive thoughts do not define who you are. With practice and support, you can manage them, reclaim your mental space, and nurture your emotional well-being.
