Taming Negative Thoughts
Our minds are constantly talking to us, but sometimes they are not telling the truth. Automatic, habitual negative thoughts can ruin your day, steal your happiness, and prolong grief. In this session, Rebecca will teach strategies that help you learn to identify and then replace the self-critical, overgeneralised and guilty thoughts with more helpful thoughts that give you a more accurate, fair assessment of any situation. Filtering out the negative thoughts is empowering, and ultimately leads to improved mental and emotional states.
