Thought-Stopping to Relieve StressThought-stopping is a process of concentrating on an unwanted thought and then suddenly stopping and clearing your mind. When you practice this process repeatedly on an unwanted thought, over time the unwanted thought occurs less often. Eventually the thought may not occur at all or will be easy to dismiss immediately.
Whenever the unwanted thought occurs, interrupt it as soon as you recognize it. Current as of: November 20, 2015 Author: Healthwise Staff Medical Review: Kathleen Romito, MD - Family Medicine & Steven Locke, MD - Psychiatry |
