[Thinker]

This article talks about accepting and watching your thoughts, but watching them almost from a 3rd party perspective - in a way separating yourself from your thoughts.

This can be useful, and may be better than just trying to stop the thoughts and drive them away.

There is a big difference, however, between accepting and watching your thoughts and ruminating or obsessing on a negative topic.

Thought stopping is aimed at stopping rumination.
