think of these thoughts as annoying kids on the back of the bus, and you're the bus driver. theyll repeatedly jokingly tell you to crash the bus, which is the last thing you'd ever want to do, as you'd be hurting so many people. you don't listen to these kids though, you just continue to drive the bus to its destination. the moral of this is that you need to continue to drive your figurative bus, as these thoughts can taunt you all you want, but they will never lead to anything, and they can never make you do anything.
my therapist once told me this one, and as silly as it sounds, it really did help me to get a grasp on my intrusive thoughts!
