Thinking Gray Therapy Llc

What does it mean to “think gray?” Oftentimes people think in terms of “all or nothing” and “black or white.” This tendency to think in extremes is a strict way of looking at the world and it tends to fuel anxiety and depression. It gives one a false sense of reality and does not allow for a middle ground. Becoming less rigid in our thinking allows us to approach life in a more balanced way where we see life as it really is: complex, constantly-changing, and filled with multiple possibilities and different paths one can take. To “think in the gray,” instead of black or white, is to have a more balanced way of thinking which alleviates distress and brings peace of mind.
