With so much social media and tv now available people don’t know how to rest their minds and have lack of peace. Gods word is so helpful to find peace.
Don't just buy the book- read it! This is NOT a quick and easy, mindless process but it is worth the daily effort required to work the system presented in her books. You really can change your mind but first you must "face it to dissipate it." However, if you are dealing with a genuinely TRAUMATIC issue, PLEASE be sure you have a SUPPORT SYSTEM in place.
I too Have a Generalized Anxiety disorder/OCD obsessive thinking and intrusive thoughts. At times they are terrifying. I have developed phobias regarding heights and fearful thoughts of falling , passing out/jumping. The anxiety that comes with the thoughts is what makes it think its real even though I know the thoughts are irrational but i continue to avoid heights and I noticed it seems to be getting worse. I am aware they are intrusive thoughts, but when i am under stress its starts to ramp up. looking forward to reading this book.
I hear you and understand how crazy it can get. Even though we know it’s stupid ridiculous thoughts at that time it’s just crazy. And then to just move onto the next level. And you could only move on when you just feel right. My biggest thing is, the what if. It’s crazy trying to explain it to somebody that does not have it. I can say that gabapentin has helped. Just know you’re not alone! 💞
I have OCD and sometimes the intrusive thoughts are not always ones that are kind of ridiculous. Sometimes I’ll have a thought that maybe people are talking about me at work. I know they’re not, as a matter of fact I could’ve just gotten a complement from one of them saying I’m doing a good job or whatever but yet my mind will just obsess on the what if. And then my anxiety attack is so bad I have to call somebody at work and ask are you talking about me and then I look like an idiot. But as soon as they say no my anxiety goes away. It’s crazy to live like this
Apply The Truth as much as you can … you are a good employee… bosses talk about good employees bc they ARE doing a good job😊 Turn your thought toward what is true and factual! If you did wrong admit it. Thank them when they are complimentary Be Blessed and always tell yourself the truth
Thank you so much Dr Leaf! I used to not know what to do with invasive thoughts, at times thinking they defined me, which caused a lot of anxiety. Thank you for your HELPFUL and reassuring teaching, you have made such a difference in my life! God bless you!💖

@@alcottdevalte7440 Wrong! According to the WORD, the Bible, Jesus was the son of God who came down in human form. Jesus and God are ONE. Jesus is God.
@@dollrose3085 This is very simple and not complicated at all. It's common sense. The son of a woman is a baby boy. The son of a cattle is a calf. The son of a horse is a foal. The son of a chicken is a chick. The son of a tiger is a cub, and etc... Why would you be punished for the sins of someone else? Imagine your kids being cursed if they stole from a garden until eternity and all their grandchildren had to be punished for that. And why would someone die for our sins? That's so stupid and no logic in that. God alone is truly-forgiving, all-embracing in His love and if we ask for forgiveness, we shall be forgiven. As I mentioned earlier, Jesus was tempted by the devil and had to fast for 40 days and 40 nights, and if he already had been free from a sin/ doing wrongs and mistakes, he wouldn't have been tempted. The proof is in the Bible, but people can't even use common sense and understand. Jesus wasn't ressurected and didn't die for any sins because he clearly says in the book of Luke; "Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have." And Jesus ate fish and bread... A spirit and ghost can't do that... The remembrance of God and of His oneness and uniqueness is declared to be the innermost purpose, as well as the intellectual justification of all true prayer. The biblical language "son" of God means servant of God. Even David, Adam, Solomon, and Ephraim were named "sons"... And we clearly read in the chapter of Acts, which tells us that Jesus is only a prophet, a human being; "Fellow Israelites, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know." And we read in the chapter of John, which tells us that Jesus follows Gods will and God has power over all things; "I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me." We clearly read in the book of Matthew that Jesus says; "This is why I speak to them in parables: though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand." The people misunderstood everything he said and were transgressors. And people today must not exaggerate in their religion as well... We read in the book of Mark when one of the teachers of the law came and asked Jesus; “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?” Jesus answeared; “The most important one is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one." If Jesus thought he was God or son of God, why didn't he preach "trinity: or say otherwise instead of quoting what Moses said? Jesus worshipped One God who has created everything and has power over all things. There is no deity save Him, the Ever-Living, the Self-Subsistent Fount of All Being. And he alone is truly exalted, tremendous. All praise is due to God, who begets no offspring, and has no partner in His dominion, and has no weakness, and therefore no need of any aid- and [thus] extol His limitless greatness.
Dr. Leaf, your book and app have helped me so much!! I work through the 63 day cycle and I'm on cycle 3 now and still practicing the reminders from the first two cycles. Is it OK to overlap like that?
Dr. Leaf, this sounds great, but I am wondering. When your intrusive thoughts have to do with OCD and health anxiety, what do you do to self-regulate when, at the moment, the threat seems so real?
New subscriber here! I'm curious to know which one of Dr Leaf's books can help best with someone who deals with procrastination? I have recognized I can be a bit of an escapist when I'm tasked with something unpleasant or boring 😅 (anyone feel free to answer)
I tell you what. I don't go to any gatherings , events, make/answer phone calls etc.. I struggle to sit down to pay bills or do ( much needed) cleaning of my desk or other cluttered spaces. I have taken the habit of doing 5 minutes at the time for these things I do NOT want to do. Every day I set a timer and put just 5 minutes in on the unpleasant or boring thing, and sometimes that is enough to keep me at it for longer. Good luck!
My question is this please? Wonder if you have an unresolved medical issue like, autoimmune encephalitis or some other underline health issue that is the root cause to why the mind and brain are functioning abnormal? Or maybe it could be Leaky Gut although changing one’s diet could or should clear things up once the microbiome is healthy again? I appreciate your what you offer and thank you kindly! Utmost regards! 🙏🏼
The enemy is like a roaring lion. But we have Jesus and the creator on our sides. We are covered and we aren’t living in this life because this is the devils world. We are promised and looking forward to eternal life with Jesus.
@@InJesusName3783 Jesus is only a human being and a great prophet. Worship One God who has created everything and has power over all things. All praise is due to God, who begets no offspring, and has no partner in His dominion, and has no weakness, and therefore no need of any aid- and [thus] extol His limitless greatness.
@@alcottdevalte7440 “I am the way, the truth, and the life no one comes to the father except through me”. - John 14:6 We all know the truth but we suppress it with false teachings and human understanding. Give your life to Jesus and repent.
@@InJesusName3783 Yes, Jesus was the way to the straight path with his teachings and the truth when there was injustice and people had gone astray, which he mentioned in John 14.6 when Thomas asks him a question (as you have also stated), but this is just like Moses, Abraham, Noah, Adam, David and other prophets were before him. The all prophets had the same mission but some had a bigger one than others.. Jesus was tempted by the devil and had to fast for 40 days and 40 nights. He sweated, sat on a donkey for transport, ate food and drank water, wept, fattigued, slept, rested, bled, was born of a human being, circumcised the 8th day and etc... I believe that Jesus is a great prophet and we should all follow his teachings, but he is not divine. And Jesus worshipped One God who has created everything. Jesus prayed in the garden of Getsemane a lot and only God helped him because Jesus is a human being that needed help and the right guidance just like all of us. We clearly read in the book of Acts; “Men of Israel, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know.” We also read in the book of John; "Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent". We read in the book of John; Jesus had the mission of making people forgive each other and make them ask for forgiveness because he knew the Old Testament and the Law by his heart. He wasn't there to abolish the Law or the Prophets; but to fulfill them. We clearly read in the book of Ezekiel; "The person who sins is the one who will die. The child will not be punished for the parent’s sins, and the parent will not be punished for the child’s sins. Righteous people will be rewarded for their own righteous behavior, and wicked people will be punished for their own wickedness." Therefore; we all have to repent to One God and not Jesus... Jesus is a great prophet and a human being who ate food and drank water.
@@alcottdevalte7440 for God so loved the world that God sent his only begotten son that whoever believes in him shall have eternal life. John 3:16 Jesus was born and lived a spotless life he was holy and anointed by the father and creator, we are made in his image. When Adam and Eve fell into temptation and didn’t listen to Gods rules they lost his trust and we are currently are living in the devils world. Jesus came down to pay our fines and penalty so we can be right with God. We see how forgiving the father is and how forgiving Jesus is too. How loving they both are and their qualities. Jesus is our sacrificial lamb meaning he died for us. So knowing that he died for us so that we will eternal life, that’s where we put our full trust in him. Jesus was in a human body but was never tempted or in sin. Every human being to ever exist has done wrong against God because it is in our human nature. He died so we might be saved on judgment day but we will are saved through his grace and faith in him, Jesus Christ, raised from the dead after 3 days. Jesus warms up about false teachings and false prophets. Jesus is the way. Jesus is the truth. Jesus is life.
Science is great and all but people don’t teach what the real root is and that is, intrusive thoughts (which are voices) are not ours but the enemy’s. There’s our thoughts, Gods thoughts and Satans thoughts. You must do spiritual warfare with the enemy’s voices. And with our own thoughts we must renew our mind to remove those negative thoughts. The weapons of our warfare are not carnal like in the days of David when he thought his enemies but mighty in God. We must use the sword of the spirit which is word of God - declaring the word, fasting and prayer and also praise & worship.
What Dr. Leaf is presenting IS the armor of God based on quantitive research. God is the one who created science. To ignore what God created...the mind ...where the Holy Spirit resides in the non-conscious part of it...is to not be able to appreciate and worship God on the deep level that He desires for us. God is energy. The enemy was defeated at the cross. He has no power over you. Dr. Leaf is trying to explain to us that fact. He gave us the power in our mind to rebuke the enemy that still tries to annoyingly get into our mind and disturb our Peace God wants us to have so that we can commune with Him without interruption. Dr. Leaf gives a tangible step by step method to deal with the 'voices' as you refer to them.
I have lots of intrusive thoughts , I ve bought the book but couldnt possibly spend 63 days on one thought then do it again for the other 100 intrusive thoughts
