LINK Can we control unwanted thoughts? New research says, yes

Most people experience unwanted thoughts from time to time.

Some, known as intrusive thoughts, can be linked to psychiatric disorders.

Proactive control—to avoid the thought occurring in the first place—may be more effective, but participants in the study found this very difficult to do.
