Letting go of the addiction to thought

In this episode, Dr. Amy Johnson explores our tendency to hold on to thought, despite acknowledging that the majority of our thoughts are biased and distorted. She challenges the belief that some thoughts are true or necessary, highlighting that much of life simply happens without needing constant reference to our own narratives. Breaking the dependence on thought can be perceived as threatening, as we have become addicted to the continuous flow of thoughts, identities, and interpretations. However, Dr. Johnson emphasizes that we don't have to believe or cling to any of it, and that true freedom lies in letting go of the need to constantly consult our thoughts.
