Do you ever wonder if supressing emotions is healthy? Research in the last few decades about controlling unwanted thoughts suggests that if you do it the right way, it just might help.
You've probably heard that it's a poor idea to suppress negative or disturbing thoughts. Suppressed emotions remain in the unconscious and can affect our moods and behaviors even if we're unaware of them.
Freud and Wegner's ideas about unconscious thoughts. He says that even the rebound effect described by Wegner was not as robust as it seemed. But the real evidence is in the brain."The idea that thought suppression is intrinsically ineffective is at odds with what cognitive psychology and cognitive neuroscience teach us about cognitive control more broadly," he says.
Anderson calls this ability to stop unwanted thoughts "retrieval stopping." It is, he says, essentially thought suppression. So we do it, but is it psychologically healthy? According to Anderson, it's not only healthy, it's necessary. Without this ability, we couldn't regulate emotional responses and the thoughts accompanying them. We would have little control over our minds.
