French term or phrase: penser tout croche

"Moi, cela m'aide a moins penser tout le croche".
The expression is used by a youngster from Quebec; context: programme of anger crisis management directing youngsters. I have an impression that 'penser tout croche' means 'think less negatively' but I would be very grateful for any confirmation/proposal.
