Terrific article! I have always loved that phrase: "Analysis Paralysis." In my work as a Substance Abuse Counselor I love to use an exercise called "Putting Your Thoughts On Trial." The idea is to identify an irrational belief or thought and to literally "put in on trial" by developing argument for its validity of in invalidity. In a group setting this can be fun because you can set it up as a "trial" with one half the group being the "prosecution" and the other the "defense" for the thought on trial. Also, one member of the group can be selected as the judge and hand down the verdict as to the truthfulness of the thought. This can help people identify and consider irrational thoughts when they are on their own.
