Inside Shazmin’s Head: Episode 4 – Does the mind understand itself?
We think, but we also think about thinking, what do you think about that? – Twitter pic, June 27, 2022

THE human mind is a fantastic thing. But how often do we think about the things we are thinking?

This week we discuss the concept of meta-cognition – and the eerie feeling we get when we find ourselves observing our own thoughts.

Dr Joel discusses how we interact with our thoughts as opposed to react to it, and acquire the skills to master our thoughts to manage our lives. – The Vibes, June 27, 2022

Dr Joel Low is a Clinical Psychologist and Director at The Mind Psychological Services & Training, and an exco member of the MSCP. He specialises in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and works with a wide range of clients to help them reach their goals.
