What causes constant intrusive thoughts?
Why Do People Have Intrusive Thoughts? One of the frequently asked questions is about the causes.
The most common answer: Stress seems to be No 1 trigger for intrusive thoughts. But we don't know what was first: the stress – or the thought. Even people with harmless stress levels can "develop" intrusive thoughts.
Amongst all theories, one of the most plausible causes for intrusive thoughts might be a thinking habit, connected to natural and normal neuronal development.
If a person focuses on a certain thought with the approach to "clean" the thought or get rid of it, she gets the opposite of the wanted result:
Attempts to suppress a mental activity will empower it. The stabilized and constantly reinforced neural connection will strengthen the thought.
A psychotherapist and his patient may think: Severe OCD or heavy rumination.
The electrician knows: You cannot separate cables by willpower in order to avoid a red warning bulb shine. If you want a green OK-bulb, you should build a cable connection.
Imagine you could build electrical connections in your brain.
You can.
