“We’re also at the mercy of automatic thoughts that pop up outside our control. If you’ve ever experienced a dark or strange thought that seemingly came out of nowhere and caused you distress, you’re familiar with this phenomenon; it’s a common one.”

Each of our emotions, however unpleasant in the moment, contains a powerful wisdom, shaped by evolution and experience.”
