Thinking Traps
(Presented by VCU HR and Anthem EAP)

Jumping to conclusions and worst care scenarios are examples of thinking traps – or negative patterns of thought. If your mind often goes to a place of anxiety, blame or fear, then it’s time to re-examine the way you think. Self-awareness is the first step, and we can help you start working on the rest. Learn how to reverse your thinking traps and help others do the same.
