I get very violent thoughts sometimes. It's almost like having a split personality. Like some violent intruder is sharing my mind and telling me things. I don't know if this will work for you but I use music. As soon as I hear that other voice I focus on the lyrics to some safe song I like. Usually I use Imagine or Row row row your boat. The second one is good because it's a round and trying to focus on keeping the song going in several different voices keeps my mind occupied and keeps the other thoughts out. I'm 36 and after many many years of this crap I'm actually pretty good at cutting off the bad thoughts as soon as they start. Good luck to you I hope you find a way to cut them off.
