10: Penny for Your Intrusive Thoughts?

This week, Claire and Jess explore intrusive thoughts - the ideas and voices that pop in your head and canNOT be controlled. Has that happened to you? Turns out, you're not alone! It's pretty normal to have some odd (and even disturbing) thoughts every now and then. Learn what some of the most common are, why some people think we have them, and even debunk some completely unrelated urban myths. Also, we'll talk about why you should never snap your fingers around Jessica.

Extra Special Note: If you suffer from intrusive thoughts and they are impacting your life, they might be a sign of a more serious issue, like depression or anxiety (not that we're trying to diagnose anybody - we're not doctors).
