IM and Alzheimer's

What does guilt do to mental processing?

This morning, my young IM student was making good gains in being able to identify his ANTs, Automatic Negative Thougths. With enough experience in IM, I can now watch the numerical patterns of an individual doing an IM task and tell with in 2 to 3 seconds when they have a negative thought, such as thinking, "This is too hard." The person does not need to verbalize it at all. It can be fleeting or persistent, but you can SEE it in the numbers. Honestly, simply the thought impacts the score! The person does not always even recognize they had the thought... at first. With enough IM, they too can recognize their thoughts in the numerical pattern.
