Do you have repetitive negative thoughts? If so, the diagnosis is confirmed: You’re human.
The average person experiences 60,000 to 70,000 thoughts per day, according to the Laboratory of Neuro Imaging at the University of Southern California. As a psychotherapist, I can say with certainty that a large percentage of those thoughts are about what can go wrong, what will go wrong, what we’ve done wrong, and what others are doing wrong.
