#304 - Managing Negative Thought Patterns of Witnesses

Bill Kanasky, Jr., Ph.D. discusses negative thought patterns of witnesses and how critical it is to identify and address these negative thoughts during prep. Bill shares a story about a recent witness he worked with and the process he took with this witness who was struggling with ruminating and negative thoughts. He advises attorneys to make the time to confront these emotional, negative thought patterns, to be prepared for them to resurface during prep, and to address them throughout the process until they are fully resolved because they can completely derail the witness's performance.
