It doesn't make any sense to 'control your own thoughts'. It's weird how people seem to picture their 'real self' as some disparate nonphysical entity in their body pulling levers, in this case even separate from the brain and thoughts

You may wish to look in to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, as it can achieve what you claim makes no sense.

When people picture a disparate nonphysical entity, it's usually a map-territory effect. Ie. in this case their model of themselves.
