Our thoughts can feel like they are part of us, that they are fixed and unchangeable. We explore where ‘thinking’ happens in the brain, and when in evolutionary terms thinking – the ability to ‘time-travel’ in thoughts started. This ability can, and is, a great benefit to us; AND it can also cause us problems!

In the past, we have both been experts at worrying, catastrophising about potential problems! And we have both spent a lot of time working at being able to catch the pattern, and interrupt it happening. We explore the negativity bias and ways to overcome it. We discuss strategies to learn how to stop believing all our thoughts, to step away from thinking they say something about ourselves, and the barriers to sometimes being able to do so.
