Yes. I'm sort-of sitting down and focusing on this thread. Please forgive me...I'm tossing some things out, bit by bit.
I've been thinking of a a book I read way back in the '90's, a book I still own (it's ragged now, what with me reading and re-reading it, gleaning bits here and there). When I first purchased the book it was newly released and I was seeing a psychologist, an extraordinarily gifted therapist, who suggested I read the book.
I'm sure some (or all) of you are familiar with it in one way or another. It's Full Catastrophe Living by Jon Kabat-Zinn, which brought the practice of mindfulness meditation/mindfulness into the therapy offices of the western world, so to speak.
Mindfulness being, of course, about how to manage our thoughts.
Not control (my wording this morning was poor), but manage.
