Psychology Has It Backwards

NOTE

Awareness Transforms Reaction

Recognizing oneself as the thinker of thoughts marks a pivotal change in managing emotional responses. When clients experience negative thoughts flooding their minds, they often feel compelled to react impulsively, mistaking these thoughts as good ideas without introspection. This lack of awareness leads to feelings of personal failure and a cycle of poor decisions, such as unhealthy relationships or substance use. Gaining awareness allows individuals to detach from immediate impulses, enabling them to choose more constructive actions, like seeking calm, rather than acting on fleeting emotions.
