Why You Go to Worse Case Scenario - The Addiction to Negative Thinking

We all have moments when those negative thoughts become very loud! They fill us with more worry, fear and anxiety. Then of course here comes the intrusive thoughts that can debilitate anyone.

Today I want to talk about this because I know if you are going through a transition, break up, divorce, or just a challenging time in your life… you are going through this! It is unfortunately a part of the process of you changing and shifting into a new phase of your life.

While I know it is painful and very uncomfortable, it is necessary that you know how to manage this so you can gain something from the pain you are going through.

See you all next week!

This is me, unfortunately. I go from everything‘s good it‘s gonna be fine to worst case scenario within minutes, hours at best

[ellensc-hawley]

have intrusive thoughts of the verbal, emotional abuse, & due to people who have been critical & judgemental towards me to my face. couple of them have been narcissistic, I have therefore emotionally distanced myself from them & the thoughts have greatly lessened, it was horrible. two of the people who are narcissistic have not grown up, & never will, I have drawn boundary lines in cement. I'm lot happier

[beausexon]

Absolutely fantastic video, especially the section about wanting to be in control. I’ve gaslighted myself in to thinking I am a control freak for wanting answers. This whole narcissistic relationship thing really sucks, my thought patterns are shot to bits, I never even knew my brain was capable of being this messed up. Thank you Stephanie for great content, always meaningful and soothing.

I’ve felt that compulsive thought that wants to be feed like I must “do it”

[hollandrose]

Thank you for this video Stephanie! Being a highly sensitive person who has experienced multiple traumas, over analyzing and intrusive thoughts are a major struggle that have been affecting my healing. I also shared this video with my brother whose wife left him and his kids and he is really struggling with these thoughts as well. Your videos always seem to arrive at the right time and are exactly what I am needing help with! ❤😊

My wife has severe cPTSD and she does this many times daily. I hope i can get her to start watching your channel. We recently started therapy, so Im hoping that will help as well. Thank you for all your videos.

Thank you so much.
“It’s normal” gave me so much validation I never had before.
Thanks for educating me. Never over though about it but thought it wasn’t normal but now I know it is.
I’m normal. Feels so relaxing. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️

Intrusive thoughts can be terrifying lol, but one never acts out on them, Happy Friday Stephanie and chat, peace and love.

[md_al_mamun]

Your way of speaking is very beautiful.

I have intrusive thoughts so much that they’ve created intrusive narratives that are connected to (and have infected) things from my life and are also tied to different numbers, which is tied to how many steps I take and how many times I do things, even how many times I think something. They’re there so much that I can’t shut it out. They love to attack me whenever I’m feeling vulnerable, for example, connecting to a song, or watching a sad movie, or even thinking about a girl I’m talking to. Then I have to “reverse” the thought by doing something a certain amount of times…it’s all so exhausting.

Thank you Stephanie for this video. Intrusive thoughts can ruin a persons life!

[TysonMichael]

This video is amazing, I am so grateful for this. My mind has felt frantic for a very long time and my thoughts literally I feel if I think and think I’m figuring out something I didn’t notice how unhealthy it was

[kaloriommati]

On-going minutes of my life are changing to the better thanks to you, Stephanie... it is amazing what one can change and how good it feels just by a push or a pointing-at like you do through your videos... how glad that I have subscribed and even more glad that I'm watching, learning, healing, and getting better thanks to you with this very well done videos... I thank you again, Stephanie...

[chocolate]

Always to the point. Your way of explaining and sharing knowledge is extraordinary. Thanks for being so clear, easy to listen to and learn from. Best coach on youtube. Thank you Stephanie ❤.

[hanlibadenhorst]

I really really like you - you are one of the most logical thinking persons spotted. Love it. You’ll hear from me… thank you

Projection which causes stress from previous traumatic experiences. Fight, Flight or Freeze response.

[jonnuanez]

This video hit it all for me. When she said "abandonment", I thought "yup". I can get myself really agitated real quick, to the point that I'll start having biological reactions like increased heart rate; getting agitated; clenching fist; maybe start talking real angrily; etc. And this is all when I'm trying to get to sleep. I've been doing way better since my stimulus with all that is gone. But I still have my moments.

I've learned to rapidly switch my thoughts. Sticking to them is what I have to get better at.

[lightimagay]

thank u so much stephanie. this is the first video ever that actually managed to calm me down
