Summary
n this episode, I teach you a simple but powerful shift called cognitive defusion, a way to create space between you and your intrusive thoughts. So often, thoughts can feel urgent, dangerous, or completely true, like warnings you have to act on. But just because a thought feels real doesn't mean it is.
