Negative Thought Pattern Is A Recurring Process And Three Things Are Involved In Its Production
Negative thought pattern is a recurring process and three things are involved in its production
Mind
Emotions
Behavior
Human thinking (cognitions), human emotions and human behavior is interconnected and interrelated.How we feel (our emotions), how we think (our cognition faculty) and how we behave (our behavior) are strongly link connected.These are so entwined that it is difficult to separate them.Feeling, thinking and behavior play significant role in the production of our mental states or our moods.
Mood and emotion :-
What is mood? Mood is nothing but emotional charged state of mind at a particular occasion or moment.The creation of mood is spontaneous process.Human mind is always in a see saw position.
Suppose we hate something or repulsed by something a nauseating feeling of rejection and abandonment is produced in our mind simultaneously and our thoughts about that thing become negative.We are placed in denial mood about that thing.If the trigger factor of revulsion and repulsion goes on repeating itself than a deep impression of that revulsed feeling is imprinted in our mind.Thus a strong recurring pattern of thought is born.It is what we term as negative thoughts of life.
Pessimistic attitude :-
The pessimist attitude of life of the person is born of out of such recurring pattern of negative thoughts.Most of our obsessions and manias are product of this recurring pattern of our thinking.The pattern goes on repeating itself or becomes automatic stereo typed.In a vicarious way the original pattern of hate or trigger factor is now gets transferred to or is interferenced on something else.This may be termed as “placement”.The placement process of mind operating secretly in mind places our emotions on something.if we place our healthy and happy emotions on something the object becomes good for us.
In most of the psychosomatic cases, the vomiting is placement of emotions of the original object of our revulsion and hate.In many such instances the original emotion of hate or jealousy is replaced or placed on something.Vicarious vomiting is becoming very common in modern times.There is no pathological vomiting but vicarious vomiting.The vomited matter is in fact the original matter of disgust in disguise.This reminds me psycho-somatic origin of most of the modern diseases.
Psychotherapy :-
In such case of vicarious nature where original subject cognition is placed on other, the psychotherapy proves very successful and useful.The basic notion that human emotions are triggered by sense perceptions and emotions are caused by our thought patterns is reversed by psychotherapy.Our irrational and illogical thoughts lead us to negative states of our mind and moods and the vice versa when our emotions are out of hormone and balance our world view also undergoes changes.In this way we may fall victim of negative pattern of thinking.This in turn supplies negative feedback to our emotions and moods and the vicious circle or process goes on unending
