The neuroscience behind Fox's teaching
Fox's 'mental diet' principle — controlling what you allow your mind to dwell on for seven days straight — is a clean description of neuroplasticity in action. The seven-day window aligns with the time needed to begin weakening a neural pathway through non-reinforcement. His framing of negative thought as 'habit' rather than 'truth' is exactly the cognitive defusion technique of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): you don't fight thoughts, you starve them of attention until they lose their charge.
