Episode notes
Broken Soundtracks as Fear
- Broken soundtracks, or negative thoughts, are a powerful form of fear.
- They get more convincing each time you hear them, impacting your brain like physical trauma.
Evaluating Thoughts
- Analyze thoughts by asking: Is it true, helpful, and kind?
- If a thought isn't all three, it's likely unhelpful and should be replaced.
Managing Thoughts
- Managing negative thoughts is like adjusting a dial, not a switch.
- Use "turn-down techniques" like organizing, walking, deep breaths, or hobbies to quiet them.
