Change Your Mind (Cognitive Behavior Therapy)



To change dark emotion
change the mental set.
This clichTd connection is the "neural-net."

To change self delusion
change the fancy hope.
This clichTd connection is the "slippery-slope."

To change sad depression
change the way you think.
This clichTd connection is the "missing-link."

To change felt rejection
change the rewind tape.
This clichTd connection is the "shifter-shape."

To change mass confusion
change the frame of mind.
This clichTd connection is the "double-bind."

To change your direction
change the focal point.
This clichTd connection is the "rabbit-joint"
