The Constant Creeping of ANTs Will Wear Away the Stone

"The constant creeping of ANTs will wear away the stone." This old saying of unknown origin speaks to the incredible impact of even the smallest insects, over time, on the hardest surface. The constant grinding of small feet wears away even the most solid rock. Sadly, this is also true of our ANTs, those Automatic Negative Thoughts that constantly wear away at even the most confident self and contribute to challenges such as depression, social anxiety, and stress, anxiety and worry.

What’s the Worst that Could Happen?

One of the most common misconceptions needing clarification in CBT is the belief that challenging one’s thoughts --we call it “Thought Inspection” at Learn To Live—is the same as “Positive Thinking.” The two are very different. Every day I work with people who have no interest in pretending that the world is perfect, that everything is great.
