The mind is a fascinating thing. It has the ability to repress hurtful events, to protect us. Or to let a memory surface right when we need it to. It is resilient. And at times, our own worst enemy.
Think about a time when you might have been depressed. It probably felt like the sadness lasted forever. Yet, we have learned that emotions only last 10-15 seconds. What perpetuates the negative feeling is our negative thoughts. That tricky brain of ours will keep ruminating on these negative thoughts until we retrain it and make it get off that carousel.
