"There wouldn't be much of her now, but her family would get closure," Malcolm says quietly. Looking down at the cards at Doc's question, he raises his eyes to Doc's. "They're daily affirmations. My therapist gave them to me. See, depression and anxiety, they... warp your perception of things. Slant your thoughts to the negative. So the point of these is, in the morning, you pull one and read it and try to set your intentions for the day from a place of positive reinforcement." He held one up and waved it. "'Negative thoughts only hold the power I allow them.' See? And so your task that day is to be mindful of negative thoughts and to choose not to give them power."
