Are you the sort of person who tries to combat anxiety and other challenging inner experience by practicing positive thinking?If so – this bitesize episode is for you. My guest is Dr Russ Harris, the best-selling author of the Happiness Trap.He argues that positive thinking has its place – but it is limited. So called negative thoughts are an inevitable part of the human experience – and its not their content that is the problem – it’s the way we respond and relate to the thoughts. With resistance, avoidance – or getting lost in them.There is another way – and that is to do the one thing the mind doesn’t want you to do. Stop battling them and embrace them. **Follow me:on instagram https://www.instagram.com/simonmundie/on twitter https://twitter.com/simonmundieAnd to get in touch - head to simonmundie.comHosted on Acast.
