What we think is not <\/em><\/strong>all that matters. If there\u2019s something in our ‘outside world’ that could be changed maybe we should do something about that first.\u00a0 Maybe it\u2019s fixing an unhealthy relationship or addressing a problem at work.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet, our brains are like \u201cmeaning-machines,” always trying to understand what\u2019s in front of us \u2013 always making judgements and interpretations about what we\u2019re seeing at every moment of every waking hour.\u00a0 Most of the time we don\u2019t even notice.\u00a0 Yet, our thoughts and beliefs are a lens through which we see everything<\/em>: ourselves, other people, and the world at large.\u00a0 At Think Waterloo Psychology we know how liberating it can be to gain insight into how our own thinking<\/em><\/strong> can colour our whole experience: it drives how we feel and underlies the urges we have to either ‘avoid something at-all-costs’ or ‘jump-in to something feet first!’\u00a0 Not only can what we think clearly affect how we feel and behave, but some conditions are associated with skewed or extreme thinking which make it difficult to break free from being \u201cstuck” in patterns of unhelpful and repetitive thinking.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we do need something to change for the better in our lives (or our \u201coutside world”) what our default thoughts and assumptions are about that challenge<\/em><\/strong> can further hamper us from taking those all-important first steps.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Think Waterloo Psychology we believe we\u2019re collaborators who journey with you in navigating life\u2019s challenges.\u00a0 We only make use of research-based strategies which have been shown to be effective.\u00a0 However, no matter whether it\u2019s using Cognitive-Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-based strategies, or interpersonal approaches, together we will try and identify all the invisible forces that leave you feeling stuck and prevent you from moving forward in your mind and your life.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
