I have used the free resources on this website and found them helpful too: https://www.cci.health.wa.gov.au/Resources/Looking-After-Yourself

thank you❤️

I wish it was that easy for me, I know that the more I try not to think about something the more I think about it. There’s this famous example of a pink elephant, where if I tell you whatever you do, do not think of a pink elephant, it is likely the only thing you’ll be able to think about. I’m so glad that looking at facts and trying to avoid negative thoughts works for you, but it’s definitely a bit trickier for a lot of us. I know that I will know fully well how I should feel and react and that my thoughts are irrational, but it doesn’t stop the feelings. Again, so glad you found something that works for you!

Some feelings truly do seem so impossible until you hear it simply put. Self critical thoughts would be much harder to agree with if you don’t have facts or evidence to support them after all. This was a shift in perspective for me, thank you.
