Can we conttrol our thoughts?

I guess it's pretty well established that our thoughts originate in our brain. So if we can control them where/what is the controller? And if we can't control them, then what?

wait, everything we know about the brain, comes from .... the brain(??!) 😱😱😂

we do our best manage our thoughts, but can't really 'control' them. some thoughts cause anxiety and stress - and we wish we could control those. at the same time, creativity happens when improvised thoughts enter our mind, so would controlling thoughts mean we no longer innovate?

my depression leads me to really awful places, and i wish i had a better solution than just observing and managing it.
