In this video I discuss why suppressing thoughts doesn't work - especially when it comes to intrusive thoughts. I explain how a series of studies on "White Bears" conducted by Daniel Wegner in the late 80's and 90's actually showed how thought suppression actually increases the frequency and intensity of thoughts. This is video 2 of a 3 part series. In video number 3 I am actually going to introduce some strategies for quieting down the mind.
