Ever feel like your mind is your own worst enemy? In this episode of the Position of Neutrality podcast, host Joe McDonald tackles the tricky subject of 'attack thoughts'.

So, if you’ve been struggling with a noisy mind, this episode offers practical advice on how to quiet those attack thoughts and find a sense of inner calm.
