Feeling Behind w/Dr. Gpt

Intrusive Thoughts
Intrusive thoughts can be unsettling, especially if you've been taught they carry spiritual meaning. But the truth is, these thoughts are just random brain activity—common for everyone, especially in times of stress or anxiety. They aren’t messages from an external source. In therapy, we can work on observing these thoughts without fear, helping you recognize they don't define you or control your actions.

I Journaled… Here It is
I’ve spent years navigating a distorted reality, feeling like something was uniquely wrong with me. But now I see that it’s not wrong—my mind has been protecting me as I shifted, struggling to understand the layers of survival mode that have defined my life. It’s painful, this process of waking up, of confronting the false self I’ve buried so deeply.
There’s no simple fix for decades of dissociation. I wasn’t being stubborn or willful; I just didn’t have the resources or understanding to know what was happening inside me. Now, I’m slowly learning to stop gaslighting myself, learning that it’s okay to question everything I once believed, from religion to my own sense of identity.
What if there’s a way to live that’s not about masking, not about survival, but about being truly here, in my body? I’m starting to find out, and while it’s terrifying to let go, I know this discomfort is the path to something real.
