Education


Today, we’re going to talk about thought suppression because it’s something we all do and we can all relate to. Yes, even myself. We try to wish our thoughts away.   Everyone does it but it's more likely to happen for those with anxiety disorders, specifically Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Panic Disorder, Social Anxiety, Healthy Anxiety and Phobias. After all, we'll do anything to avoid the thought and anxious feelings that come. But this can actually cause way more harm than good.Here's what this episode covers:What is Thought Suppression?Examples of Thought SuppressionStrategies for Dealing With Unwanted ThoughtsResources from this episode:The Universe Has Your Back BookDigital TherapyLINKS & FREEBIESSign up for an anxiety subscription box HEREReceive a weekly mental health boost with our AG INSIDER HEREJoin our Facebook Page HEREFollow Chantal from Anxiety Gone on Instagram HEREIndulge in free anxiety healing HEREShop the Anxiety Gone store HERE SUBSCRIBE & SAVESign up for an anxiety self care subscription box and receive:30% off every boxNew anxiety relief tools and techniquesSelf care products that are good for your mental healthAccess to our VIP Facebook group of exclusive discounts and opportunitiesHelp us keep this podcast alive by being a patron!Music: https://www.purple-planet.comSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/anxietygone)
