Hi secret -
What has helped me is meditation. If I listen to a tape of someone else talking then their words fill my head instead of what is in my head.
The other thing my hypnotherapist did with me was to pretend I was walking through the woods with a back pack. As I walked I started to take any negative thought or idea and put it in the back pack. When I got to the edge of the woods the pack was real heavy and I was struggling. Then at the edge their was a big field with flowers and in the field was a hot air balloon. I had to walk to the balloon and inside it was a metal lock box. I got the key and opened it and it was empty, so I started taking all those negative things out of the pack and put it in the box.
When I was done I untied the ropes and the balloon floated away with all my problems.
It worked pretty good - even if it's for awhile it's a nice break.
Tranq
