Trapped by Your Thoughts - The Need for Mental Control
from Dynamic Healing with David Hanscom MD and Les Aria PhD Hosted by Mind Body Spirit.fm
Disruptive thoughts are universal and part of human consciousness. For many, they can become intense enough to compromise the quality of life. They arise from human’s need for mental control. Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. Viktor Frankl Disruptive disturbing thoughts are extremely common, and it is difficult to know what percent of the population experience them at a level that disrupts quality of life. They arise from the unconscious brain, are powerful, and not subject to rational control. However, they are so unpleasant that there is still a strong need to control them. They are worsened if you fight them and become independent circuits that we call, “phantom brain pain.” Even more frustrating it that if you try think positive thoughts such as being happy, your unconscious brain will again sabotage you, and you’ll end up sad. In upcoming podcasts, the general approach to them will be discussed and then specific solutions. It is a solvable problem, but it does require specific tools.
