A short coaching clip by Danielle Jhiani offering practical techniques to neutralize intrusive thoughts by refusing to engage with them. The speaker advises acknowledging thoughts without assigning them meaning or attention (e.g., "let this thought be", laughing at it), teaching the brain that such thoughts are harmless and will fade when ignored.

We're teaching the brain that we can handle it. But I'm not going to give it any more attention. You can just say, I'm going to let this thought be here. You can even laugh at it again. These are ways of not giving the thought so much power and meaning. And then your brain will learn not to give these thoughts to you, not to throw this angle at you, because you don't care. You're not engaging and you're okay with, yep, that's a thought. Maybe it'll happen. Who knows? No more.
