why do we have these intrusive thoughts

343 viewsOther

The ones you get when you hold a baby and your brain is telling you to throw it, or when you’re praying and a voice tells you Jesus sucks. Why does our brain do this? Is this like the worst version of us, or is it us preventing us from doing that?

Here is something that awesome works quite nicely. Sit down someplace quiet for a bit, and say “Hello, voice that said to throw the baby. Would you be willing to talk to me?”

Then sit back and give it time. If it answers you can ask it questions.

If it doesn’t want to answer right away, make a point of stating that you realize it is trying to do something useful and important for you and that you hope to get a better understanding so as to make its job easier.

If there is more than one voice, you can differentiate between them and ask different ones different questions.
