Coaching, therapy, and conversations with friends share similarities in promoting feelings of being heard and understood. These interactions validate emotions and release 'happy hormones' such as serotonin and oxytocin. Engaging in these conversations helps bring internal thoughts to the surface, allowing for examination and transformation. Negative self-talk often manifests as a loop of worry and anxiety, termed 'ruinous rumination,' which can impair cognitive functions. Awareness of thought patterns is essential for mental well-being and personal growth.
The shadow must be addressed and met and used to transform into our most potent, powerful, and loving selves. - Carl Jung
When this default mode network is activated, it's natural that it creates more worry and anxiety as a predictive and control mechanism to keep us safe.
Being aware of the type of thoughts we are having is critically important.
