The late comedian, Bob Newhart, known for his deadpan delivery on "The Bob Newhart Show," and hilarious stand-up routines, also offered a surprisingly simple yet effective strategy to combat anxiety and negative thought spirals. This technique, sometimes referred to as "Bob Newhart infinite ledge psychology," is showcased in a classic skit from "The Bob Newhart Show" where Newhart, playing a therapist, treats a woman with a fear of being buried alive.
