Sample Book Insights:

#1 We give our thoughts too much power by overidentifying with them. And we pay a steep psychological price for this. When we invite negative thoughts to hang around, we empower them to begin their long-term corrosion of the way we think about ourselves and our world.

#2 The first step to disempowering your dysfunctional thoughts is to cognitively defuse them, which entails separating your thoughts from your sense of self and also separating your thoughts from the assumption of their truth.

#3 Maggie, a thirty-nine-year-old manager at a nonprofit organization, came to see me because she was struggling with her thoughts. She was constantly worrying about getting fired, and her perfectionism was making her worries about work even worse.

#4 Thought-action fusion is when a particular thought becomes so bothersome that the fear or shame associated with it feels equal to literally acting on the thought. This can be extremely distressing, and can even make you so desperate for the thoughts not to come back that you develop habits or compulsions to keep them at bay.
