Thank you for this insightful post! It makes me think we can do the same for ourselves—take a walk inside our minds and check if our thoughts are a "lake" or the "dam."

Good point Jacqueline. I am now wondering if approaches like Cognitive Brain Therapy are a kind of “walk inside our minds” - questioning which thoughts are merely self made constructs that have no basis in reality. Actually, it’s probably my years of seeing therapists that have helped me to come up with this article! 😅
