[Thinker]

I just found the link to a Livestrong article on thoughblocking on Aliveandkickings thread "Dreams of a new normal"

As far as Thougthblocking vs Focus on yourself...

There are two dimensions to the self control we need.

The first is controlling whether we think about our S's (what they are doing, how to influence them, etc) or ourselves. That's where focus on yourself comes in.

The other dimension is whether we allow destructive, negative thoughts and rumination to control our emotions. Thoughtblocking is the process of stopping / stamping out those negative thoughts and ruminations. (To better undestand, you could be focused on yourself, and thinking negative destructive thoughts)

Hijacks are absolutely no problem.
