What Makes Distraction More Effective Than Suppression with Dr. Kate Truitt

Why do so many people try to push difficult thoughts away, only to find they come back stronger? In this training clip, Dr. Kate Truitt explores the neuroscience behind distraction and suppression — and why research consistently shows that distraction is often more effective than trying to force thoughts or emotions away. Our brains are wired to scan for threat. When something distressing happens, the amygdala activates and the mind begins searching for meaning. Suppression attempts to shut this process down. Distraction, when used intentionally, shifts the brain’s priorities and brings the prefrontal cortex back online. In this video, you’ll learn: • Why suppression tends to backfire • How distraction engages working memory • How intentional distraction supports cognitive flexibility • The connection between distraction, distress tolerance, and resilience • How distraction creates space for neuroplastic change Distraction is not avoidance when used with intention. It can be a powerful clinical tool that gives the nervous system breathing room and helps prevent overwhelm. This clip is part of Dr. Kate Truitt’s neuroscience-informed approach to trauma recovery and resilient brain care. #NeuroTriadModel #BrainPartnership #cognitivedistraction For more information and blogs visit DrTruitt.com, find inspiration on Instagram @Dr.KateTruitt, join Dr. Kate on TikTok @DrKateTruitt, and subscribe to us here for weekly videos!
