I got stuck in a loop starting on the thinking of whether I wanted to click on that link.
Dangerous thoughts. Should we really think about thinking. There is no easy break. It's rather breaking any functional thinking and slow down actual thoughts. Any tip on scoping this effort would be appreciated.
- qnsi 7y agoThere is a therapy, which main focus is changing how you think about thinking. Thinking about your thinking is called metacognition, and therapy I talk about is Metacognitive Therapy
- hirako2000 7y agoThanks, fascinating. I could find some papers on the subject. Is there any useful resource for self metacognitive therapy you could share?

I wonder if dr Wells would share it if someone kindly asks, but I haven't tried it. Wells (2009). Metacognitive Therapy for Anxiety and Depression is a guide for therapists but I am using it to learn techniques myself. Not sure if psychologists would approve
