Intrusive thoughts vs thinking
You don’t control the guy shouting random things in the street, but you do control how you react to what you hear. Understanding that thoughts (something you experience) are different from thinking (a reaction you engage in) can expose a way out of struggling with your mental health.
i thought this video was great. As a mental health worker trying everyday to convince people a lot of the stuff that goes through our heads doesn’t even merit paying attention to (although it seems important: possibly because of the fact it is, walking through our heads!) I thought you’ve put together a really succinct way of explaining all that. Thank you I’ll watch out for other videos 🙂
Thanks!
