Do horrible thoughts make you a horrible person?

Ever wondered about the disturbing thoughts that occasionally cross your mind? The thoughts you don't want anyone else to know? Do they mean you're some horrible person who wants everyone to die and wants to watch the world burn? This time I'm looking at the nature of dark thoughts that many of us experience, but rarely talk about. Are these thoughts indicative of our true selves, or are they just part of the human experience? Let's dive into.

Om Podcasten

There are people who understand depression and anxiety on a personal level and there are people who understand depression and anxiety on a medical level. There are relatively few people who understand both, and I’m one of them. As a clinical psychologist I have a doctorate degree and thousands of hours of professional experience providing treatment for mood and anxiety disorders. I also have 39 years of personal experience managing mood and anxiety disorders as I myself deal with these struggles. This podcast is my attempt to synthesize my personal knowledge with my professional knowledge. Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/scott-eilers/support
