The “5,5,5” Technique
Walter Reed Army Institute of Research
March 11, 2025 | 1:08
Part of the “Next Time” video series produced by the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, this video describes a technique that can be used to snap out of a negative thought spiral by considering how events will feel in 5 weeks, 5 months and 5 years.
