I've heard that new mothers sometimes imagine themselves killing their children in horrible ways, which can cause confusion and guilt: This phenomenon is explained as an evolutionarily sophisticated unconscious protective brain function—by imagining these horrible things, one also imagines how one will respond to them, or not do them, and all those horrible thoughts cumulatively turn good, as they prepare a person for all sorts of worst-case scenarios that are unlikely until they're not.
