Hey ADHDer or Mental Health Friend!

Today we are talking about all things ANTs... yes there is a discussion about the little insect guys but really this is all about AUTOMATIC NEGATIVE THOUGHTS. Did you know your brain has up to 70,000 thoughts in a day!?!? (insert mind blown emoji here)

On today's episode we are: 

• breaking down why we have negative thoughts and how those negative thoughts can become quite the habit. 
• discussing the negative effects of ANTs
• going over a therapy technique I've learned to help you manage the ANTs (the ABCD method)
  • A- Activating Event (the "trigger")
  • B- Beliefs (How did you interpret the trigger; what did you say about yourself- what is the messaging)
  • C- Consequences (how do you feel about the thought; what was your response; any behavioral consequences)
  • D- Dispute it (ask if this thought is irrational or unrealistic; what is the evidence supporting the thought)
