In Detox Your Thoughts, popular psychologist Andrea Bonior, PhD, identifies the 10 most prevalent mental traps that make people feel anxious, insecure, and generally just bad.
Clinical psychologist Andrea Bonior has spent over twenty years studying, teaching, and practicing the science of thoughts, emotions, and behavior. In Detox Your Thoughts, she uses the latest research into mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to teach you to understand your thoughts–and your body–in a completely different way.
To challenge negative self-talk, you must change the way you relate to your thoughts altogether. Bonior shows us how to create new mental pathways that truly stick. For each of the ten mental traps, Bonior offers a new habit to practice, including:
• leaning in to your feelings
• recognizing and counteracting your blind spots to gain insight
• valuing the present moment, and immersing yourself in it.
Bonior deciphers the latest research in psychology and neuroscience to help disempower and conquer self-sabotaging thoughts with specific and actionable steps. You're not erasing negative thoughts, but rather growing bigger than they are–and improving your mental and emotional life along the way.

Psychologist Bonior (Psychology), who writes the Baggage Check column for the Washington Post, dazzles in this smart, sensible guide to vanquishing negative thoughts. The key step for changing internal dialogue, she argues, is making thoughts less "sticky" by realizing that not every thought should be given equal power. "Negative thoughts don't cause depression and anxiety disorders it's when such thoughts become sticky that they can grow into depression and anxiety disorders," she writes before offering an easy strategy to dispel them acknowledge the troubling thought, label it, remind oneself to give space to the thought, ground oneself in the present moment, and visualize the thought passing. She teaches readers to let go of intrusive negative trains of thought particularly ruminating on the past and thinking about how the world should be rather than how it is and outlines how to see one's blind spots and confront one's discomfort. In an empathetic tone, Bonior invites readers to celebrate even the smallest steps as they seek greater self-compassion. This witty, wise handbook's outstanding blueprint for achieving lasting happiness will be of aid to any reader prone to self-doubt.
