Summary
Sometimes our brain gives us uncomfortable emotions and they are useful. And those we want to listen to and do something with, But what happens when our brain causes us to have big emotions and they aren’t useful? Like when it tells us we looked fat in the dress we wore yesterday, there’s nothing I can do about that, that’s not useful at all. My niece and I were joking around and I said something that was kind of true about her and also kind of funny. We laughed and when she got done laughing, she said that was a little more hurtful than it was funny. Which made us laugh all over again. But you see our brain gives us hurtful thoughts all the time that are not useful and we never correct it.
