Do you get scary thoughts too with Dr Caroline Boyd

This week’s episode comes with a trigger warning. I’m talking about intrusive, unwanted harm thoughts with the wonderful Dr. Caroline Boyd. I didn’t realise this before I recorded the episode, but this is a really common issue – as you’ll learn, most parents will at some point experience intrusive, scary, harm thoughts about their children. However, it’s something that just isn’t spoken about, so I’m really glad we’re having this conversation. Caroline is a clinical psychologist, a writer and a mother. Her doctoral research was on intrusive thoughts, so she’s the perfect person to explore this with. We speak about: • Where intrusive thoughts come from and why they happen • How to manage them • I share my own experience with intrusive thoughts • Caroline shares her experience and those of some of the people who took part in her study Our intention is that in listening to this you feel comforted and come to realise how normal this is. If you’d like more information, you can head over to Caroline’s website and even read her research paper. I hope you enjoy the episode.
