Take control of your life with active thinking | Dr. Henry Cloud

Our minds are wired for automatic thinking, which is generally helpful for routine tasks. However, Dr. Henry Cloud warns that this can become problematic when we apply these default patterns to situations that require more intentional and thoughtful consideration. This can lead to entrenched behavior patterns that reinforce themselves. It's important to question these automatic thoughts-are they truly thoughts in the traditional sense? Many times, they are not actively considered or critiqued; they simply occur. Dr. Cloud offers insights into how to re-engage your mind to regain control in overlooked areas of your life.

Thank you for your kindness in creating these casual non-nelgious videos. This week i've had situations relating to relationship conflict and anxiety. Your videos have been the answers i needed to hear 👍

Thank you; is it helpful? Just because you are thinking it is it true? Is it producing what I want? I am 77 and saying to myself I have a right to live joyfully; it is never too late!🙏

So your missed drive that ended up near the pond was the good shepherd's leading to "still waters"....and because there is no condemnation in Christ Jesus, my missteps and misspoken words can lead me into a faceto face with Jesus for forgiveness and forgiving... Thankyou for the "skinhorse" reality check of love.

What day and time are your live call in shows? How can I find a therapist that works similarly to the way you work?

My husband of almost 2 yrs recently introduced me to a couple by his ex wife's name. He caught himself quickly before her full name was spoken. He said he doesn't know why that happened. He didn't even think about her. It just came out. He apologized. He said he couldn't control what came out. His ex wife waa abusive and unfaithful. Is it possible it happened because of unresolved trauma?

Intentional thinking and being .. not a passive reactive thinking …
