Introduction Do your thoughts sometimes feel like a runaway train—racing fast, loud, and always headed in the wrong direction? If you've ever caught yourself spiraling into self-doubt, negative thinking, or mental burnout… you're not alone. And it's not your fault. Your brain has been wired by years of habit, repetition, and subconscious programming. But here's the truth most people won't tell you: You can rewire it. You can build new mental maps. You can reshape your patterns. You can reclaim your focus, your clarity, and your edge. In this article, we're diving into Cognitive Behavioral Strategies—battle-tested tools designed to transform your thinking, break toxic cycles, and fortify your mind for peak performance. Whether you're a burned-out executive, a high-achiever stuck in stagnation, or simply tired of your own mental roadblocks, this is your mental reset button. What Are Cognitive Behavioral Strategies? Let's strip away the fluff. Cognitive Behavioral Strategies are not about “thinking positive” or plastering affirmations over chaos. They're about getting tactical with your mind. At their core, these strategies stem from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)—a scientific method used to identify, challenge, and change destructive thought patterns. But you don't need a therapist's couch to use them. Think of CBT like a software update for your brain. It helps you identify the faulty mental scripts—those sneaky thoughts that sabotage your progress before you even take action. It also teaches you to understand how those thoughts directly trigger your emotional state and your behaviors. Most importantly, it guides you to replace those old scripts with empowering, evidence-based beliefs that support your growth. And here's why that matters: Your thoughts don't just affect how you feel—they determine how you perform. Every behavior begins as a thought. Change your thoughts, change your outcomes. Rewiring Negative Thought Patterns Most people walk around with what psychologists call ANTs—Automatic Negative Thoughts. These are fast, sneaky, and often false beliefs that whisper things like: “You'll never be good enough.” “Why bother trying?” “It's always been this way.” They don't scream—they whisper. Subtle, corrosive thoughts that slip under your awareness and sabotage your potential. And unless you learn to spot them, they'll run your life on autopilot. This is where Cognitive Behavioral Strategies shine. Step one is awareness. You've got to name the thought to tame the thought. Start with thought logging—track what pops into your head during stress, failure, or fear. Write it down without judgment. Capture the raw pattern. When you see it on paper, you create distance from it. You stop being in the thought and start observing it. Then comes the reframe. Ask yourself: What's the evidence for this thought? Is this fact or fear? What's a more empowering, truthful version of this belief? Rewriting negative patterns isn't about lying to yourself. It's about aligning with reality—not the distorted, fear-based version your old wiring wants to believe. Imagine your mind as a trail system. Every time you repeat a thought, you carve a deeper mental path. Walk it often enough, and it becomes the default route. CBT helps you close down the self-destructive trails and blaze new, powerful ones—ones that lead to clarity, confidence, and control. Building Mental Toughness Through Thought Management Mental toughness isn't something you're born with. It's a skill—and like any skill, it can be trained. Cognitive Behavioral Strategies are the training ground for that mental muscle. They give you practical tools to challenge your current mindset, sharpen your focus, and develop the kind of mental grit that thrives under pressure. And the cornerstone of this training? The 4C's of Mental Toughness: Control is your ability to manage your internal world—your thoughts,

Welcome to Financially Ever After Widowhood. As we're in the heart of the holiday season, we know this time of year can bring both cherished memories and difficult emotions, especially for widows navigating loss. Today, we're bringing back one of our most impactful episodes from last year, featuring Cognitive Behavioral and Grief Coach Jordan Schwartz Hendin. We hope this special replay offers comfort, guidance, and a reminder that you're not alone. Thank you for tuning in, and we wish you peace and support this holiday season. Let's revisit this incredible episode. Jordan draws from her personal experiences with grief, having lost her own mother at a young age and supporting her widowed grandmother through multiple losses. Now a professional coach, she works with women struggling with grief and major life transitions. In this week's show, Jordan and Stacy explore handling loss and loneliness, honoring traditions, and staying financially sound. The holidays can bring up complex emotions such as sadness, anger, and loneliness. This is normal after a major loss. Avoid unhealthy coping strategies like becoming an "isolator" or "doer." Don't overcommit to events or hide away alone. Reflect on your core values. Focus on traditions that align with what matters most, like family time. Make new memories and experiences, especially with children. Gift experiences rather than material items. Have open conversations with family about your grief. Don't pretend to be okay if you're not. Manage your finances by focusing on your values, not material possessions. Stick to a budget for holiday gifts and activities. You don't have to navigate the holidays alone. Seek support from family or a grief counselor during this difficult time.

The world can be a tough place. We know that our ADHD doesn't make that any easier. But our health and well-being depend heavily on the worldview we cultivate in spite of our challenges. This week, we're talking about optimism, how we find it, and how we make it a practice in the face of struggle. We'll talk about the things that get in the way of our efforts to feel optimistic like emotional dysregulation, rejection sensitivity, an impulsivity. The thing is, in the face of all those challenges, we're already wired with our other tools to regain control. We're generally OK with therapy and strengths-based approaches to wellbeing, for example. So let's explore mental models that impact us. These include Carol Dweck's Growth Mindset, Cognitive-Behavioral models, and Martin Seligman's Explanatory Style theory. That's the one that has impacted Pete the most this month.

Roni spent almost 10 years helping people transform their bodies as an award winning personal trainer and nutrition and wellness coach. She's been a nationally qualified champion figure athlete, written for bodybuilding websites, and has been featured by Muscle Insider, and Bodybuilding.com.But she also spent over 2 decades years struggling with her own weight, an eating disorder, depression, panic attacks and an anxiety disorder. Last year, she left the fitness industry to become a speaker and mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral coach. She made this switch as a result of what she learned during her own recovery and years of frustration watching traditional wisdom surrounding healthy eating and weight loss, fail most people.The problem, as she says, is that our brains control everything – our thoughts, habits, beliefs and behaviors – all the things that determine our results – but we've been ignoring them.Roni is on a mission to help people rewire their minds - to focus on behavior and habit modification at the brain level. She works to empower women to release weight, food and body shame, to learn to love and accept their bodies and to break free from a diet culture that she says is built upon shame, fear, and distrust in ourselves. It feeds on our insecurities and fuels the story that we are only worthy of love, acceptance and goodness if a scale displays the “right” number or we eat the “right” things.To that end, she's created The Cognitive Eating Academy – the first program of its kind to incorporate the science of mindfulness, intuitive eating and cognitive behavioral strategies to help lifelong dieters go from weight food and scale obsessed to happy, healthy and free. She's also currently writing a second book, contributes to sites like Tiny Buddha, Having Time and other popular blogs, hosts workshops, group programs, online courses and is wildly passionate about helping people rebuild self-trust, compassion, connection and heal their relationships with food, themselves and their bodies. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/new-mind-creator/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/new-mind-creator/support

Let's continue our conversation about treatment today with a discussion on Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) for anxiety and issues with mood. CBT has shown to be an effective treatment for individuals with anxiety and depression, and research shows substantial support for CBT as an effective first line treatment for children. More research shows that up to 60% of children and teens treated with CBT experience significant decreases in symptoms that are lasting for 4 years or more. But what is Cognitive Behavior Therapy? Today's guest, Dr. Shadab Jannati, has seen firsthand the impact CBT has on children and teens with anxiety and depression. In this episode, she explains what CBT is, what a session might look like, and what this form of psychotherapy does to help children, teens, and their families.   Show Notes: [3:05] - CBT is a form of psychotherapy established in the 1960s that has evolved over the years. [3:57] - This form of therapy is goal-oriented and focused on the here and now. [5:27] - Children and teens without a formal diagnosis still benefit from CBT. [6:44] - Dr. Jannati gives examples of scenarios where children and adolescents experience anxiety. [8:18] - CBT also gives kids and teens the ability to listen to body cues and their feelings. [9:49] - When these feelings come up, kids and teens can then recognize that they are anxious and change their thinking. [11:24] - Anxiety can show up in many ways, but common problems are negative thinking and “mind-reading,” which are irrational. [12:59] - The first step is being aware of the feelings and negative thinking. The next step is to find the right coping strategies. [14:15] - Like waves, feelings come and go. [15:42] - For younger children, play-based strategies are also used in CBT. [17:13] - CBT is appropriate for most ages; Dr. Jannati works with children ages 4 to 16. [20:04] - There is a sense of relief and hopefulness with CBT. Anxious feelings are validated, and children and teens can learn what to do. [22:05] - It is ideal when parents can be involved in the sessions as well. [23:53] - 80% of kids with problematic anxiety don't receive treatment.  [24:43] - CBT doesn't last for years. The number of sessions varies per person but 12-24 sessions is average at about 6 months to a year.   About Our Guest: Dr. Shadab Jannati is a licensed clinical psychologist with a private practice in West Los Angeles. She received her B.A. in Psychology from University of California, Irvine in 2001 and completed her doctoral studies at Alliant International University in 2006. She has over 20 years of experience working with children with a variety of social, emotional, and behavioral challenges. Dr. Jannati provides an empathic, strength-based approach and utilizes Cognitive Behavioral strategies, play therapy, and mindfulness practice to assist children in managing and coping with their emotional struggles.  Additionally, she provides parent consultation, as parents are an integral part of the child's treatment and progress. As a mother of two, Dr. Jannati understands the daily struggles that affect children and parents and is passionate about helping families find strategies to improve their daily lives.    Connect with Dr. Shabab Jannati: ChildNEXUS Provider Profile Children Thrive Website Email: drshadab@childrenthrive.net   Links and Related Resources: Episode 67: Your Child's Anxiety - When to Worry with Dr. John Piacentini Episode 130: How Parent Child Interaction Therapy Strengthens the Family Relationship with Dr. Karrie Lager Episode 116: How Dialectical Behavior Therapy Helps Children and Teens with Patricia Gieselman Anxiety and the Family Anxiety and Depression in Adolescents   Trying to figure out next steps in supporting your child?  Book a 1:1 consultation with Dr. Karen Wilson - https://www.childnexus.com/consultation  Join our email list so that you can receive information about upcoming webinars - ChildNEXUS.com The Diverse Thinking Different Learning podcast is intended for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for medical or legal advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

This week, we examine the intersection of being Trauma Informed and its impact on the delivery of Cognitive Behavioral Interventions. Nicole Kimberley-Staeheli has over 30 years of experience in Corrections, focusing on the topic of trauma informed care, as well as the delivery of effective cognitive interventions. Many may be astonished to learn how much their lack of knowledge around trauma  may be having a serious effect on the efficacy of their cognitive interventions, whether those interventions are being delivered in a group setting, or even in a one-on-one context.  Contact Nicole directly: nicoleranaeconsulting@gmail.com Get caught up on our previous chats with Nicole, by accessing the links below! https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/theparagongroupllc/NRC_2.mp3 https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/theparagongroupllc/TIDES_PROMO_-_01_Start.mp3 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCw1d_twLd7CdnDgS7amNpuQ  

Is it possible to treat sleep problems without medication? The answer is YES! When you're desperate for sleep, it can be tempting to reach for a sleeping pill or an over-the-counter sleep aid. But sleep medication won't cure the problem or address the underlying symptoms—in fact, it can often make sleep problems worse in the long term. In this episode, we're joined by clinical psychologist, Dr. Shelby Harris, to help and guide us through CBT-I. We'll tackle how this form of therapy can help everyone from children to adults.   Resources: https://www.startschoollater.net/   About Dr. Shelby Harris Dr. Shelby Harris is a clinical psychologist and sleep specialist in private practice in NYC.

Welcome back to the second season of the Sit WIth Snit podcast. This season is focussed explicitly on sitting with singlehood; how to live a meaningful life while still searching for your life partner. We process ideas and topics by engaging in thought-provoking conversations with different speakers. For our seventh episode, a dear mentor/soul sister/friend of mine, a woman who I wouldn't be sitting here right now on this platform if I hadn't met year six years ago in Israel. I have so much love and gratitude for this episode's guest, Ayelet Polonsky. Ironically, when I met Ayelet, I could not sit still through meditation if my life depended on it. Now, here I am, hosting a podcast called Sit With Snit. If only I had known what I was always truly capable of back then, I cannot imagine the lengths I would be climbing today. But need I digress; Ayelet's been on my journey alongside me, coaching me and helping me through the many iterations of myself. Ayelet is an adventure-loving, green-living, yoga-obsessed Life Coach and Therapist trained in Cognitive Behavioral and Narrative Therapy. Ayelet has learned from her many life experiences both in India and Israel and now provides individuals with resources and tools to make manifestation simple, sourced in both Kabbalah and Psychology. Initially, we wanted to discuss manifesting one's husband for this episode, but what this episode turned into is more of a pre-requisite, discussing the work you have to do before you are ready to manifest. So, do you want to break free from the blockages preventing you from manifesting your desired life? So, without further ado, here's the first of future conversations on manifesting your soulmate. Feel free to reach out and DM me on Instagram and show your love by liking this episode and sharing it with friends. And always, it's all lessons and blessings. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sitwithsnitpodcast/support

In this episode, I speak with Susan about how she came to develop Cognitive Behavioral Play Therapy (CBPT). She explained that she was originally trained in psychodynamic play therapy and found it helpful. Talking with and reflecting on a child's experience was important, but she wanted to find ways to help children gain more adaptive skills to deal with their emotions and difficulties. At the time, it was thought that you could not use CBT with young children, so she used CBT techniques and ideas and incorporated them into play. Finding ways to bring CBT into play involved modeling with puppets, dolls, toys, books and other child-oriented materials. We discussed numerous case studies using CBPT with young children, as well as the research on Cognitive Behavioral Play Interventions (CBPI), currently being used with non-clinical populations. Susan shared case examples of using puppets to model various interventions, such as Systematic Desensitization and Cognitive Change strategies, and using workbook activities, like drawing the Worry Monster/Worry Bully to help anxious and fearful children. We discuss using toys, puppets, books, movies, and art with children. She also talked about her work with parents and assessing whether the presenting problems are better treated by working with just the parents or the child and parents together in different combinations. Susan M. Knell, Ph.D. is a psychologist who received her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Case Western Reserve University and did her internship and NIMH Postdoctoral Fellowship at The Neuropsychiatric Institute (NPI), UCLA, specializing in clinical child psychology and developmental disabilities. She is currently Adjunct Assistant Professor in Psychology at Case Western Reserve University, maintains a private practice, supervises graduate students in training, and is the author of the book, “Cognitive-Behavioral Play Therapy” (Jason Aronson, 1993). Susan was the first to study and write about the application of cognitive-behavioral therapy with young children. In addition to her book, she has published many chapters in edited books on play therapy, with recent chapters on creative applications of CBPT and treating young children with anxiety and phobias. She lectures throughout the country and internationally on Cognitive-Behavioral Play Therapy with preschool and early school-age children. Most recently, Susan has been working with Maria Angela Geraci, Ph.D., Meena Dasari, Ph.D. and colleagues, as part of the Cognitive Behavioral Play Therapy Institute, in Rome, Italy. The Institute will be disseminating relevant research and providing online training in CBPT. Online training is available through the institute website: www.cognitivebehavioralplaytherapy.com.

In this episode Ariel is joined by psychologist Erin D'Orio about the power of the healthy mind, with tips and ideas to help you maintain your balance, let go of negativity and get motivated. We also learn about equine-assisted therapy. Affirmations: "All of you are wonderful, all of you are good.""All of me is welcome.""I love me, all parts of me, totally and completely. I am healed, whole and complete." Techniques Erin recommends: To address de-motivation, use the Rocket countdown, "5-4-3-2-1" to "blast off" the couch once you reach 1. Doing a job/task you don't enjoy: Set the timer for 15 minutes to get things done. Dishes, clean the fridge, or any other task. Aerobic Exercise for dopamine and endorphin release. Do something you love! Take classes on the topic you enjoy. Find what you love to do and what is the footwork towards doing something you can do for a living. Have a "business meeting" with yourself to think about the things that need to be done in your life. Do something to help someone else so your focus is not on yourself. Brush off negative energy in the restroom at work and flush it! Grounding yourself consistently. Anxiety comes from thinking about what you are not doing and depression comes from thinking about what you haven't done. To reach Erin:760-885-0231www.psychologytoday.com, do a search for Erin D'Orio in Lucerne Valley, CA.Erin's email is:  windsongtherapy@gmail.com  KEY TAKEAWAYS When I was about 13, I was a “difficult child” and I was sent off to boarding school. That turned out to be a place for getting my feet wet in abnormal psychology because there was a whole bunch of girls there that had a multitude of problems, from kleptomania to step-dad taking girl out for the weekend and doing things to her – that particular girl tried to commit suicide and I was involved with the clean-up of that. the Math teacher tried to rape me and that's how I got back into regular high school, but in the meantime I'd had a year and a half of quite an education and I think that started me off to being observant of human behaviour and being fascinated with it. A lot of people have been traumatised in one way or another, so I do EMDR, which is eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing. That helps the brain to go back – much like cleaning out a filing cabinet – to a critical point which is often stuck, not only in a person's mind, but in their body and their cells. When we go back and re-look at that point I do a series of eye movements in front of their eyes which allows the brain to go back into all sorts of memories right around that and other places, which unsticks that  point. It goes from a dramatic, colourful picture of intensity to more like a black and white picture that's still there but doesn't have that intensity anymore. I try to teach people practical things too. Firstly, I ask people to bring all of themselves. People want to compartmentalise – part of them is bad and part of them is good. Some people just need some help in their daily life, people have got very disorganised during Covid, they've got messy or sloppy or they watch too much TV. I see a lot of younger people that are very non-motivated. Their parents bring them in and ask me to “fix my teenage kid”. Well, it's usually the parents' problem, not the kid. However, what we're having trouble with is getting people to be motivated, to move forward in their life, find something they really want to do. I think screen addiction is a really big problem in that area, it tends to stop people getting out into the world. I try to help people find something they really want to do, because, once you've found that thing, it's not a job, it's a pleasure. BEST MOMENTS “Exercise is really a very good grounding for overall health, and mentally it creates all kinds of brain chemicals that are natural and make you feel good.” “Sometimes I do a breathing technique where I talk about the cells being happy and breathing in happiness and you can see their whole demeanour change, even if they're under hypnotherapy.”“All of you are wonderful, all of you are good.”“For all the horrible jobs around the house you don't like to do, set a timer for 15 minutes – you can do anything in 15 minutes – the timer helps you work against the clock.” ABOUT THE GUEST Erin D'Orio is a licensed psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience in various types of therapy and healing modalities.  She works with traditional methods such as Cognitive Behavioral, EMDR (eye movement, desensitisation and reprocessing), Addiction/Substance problems, Gestalt, Psychodynamic, Hypnotherapy and non-conventional methods such as shamanic journey work, energy healing, Equine Assisted and Transpersonal therapy.   She has worked in several substance abuse treatment centres as well as county mental health agencies and has a wide background of experience.   Currently she has a private practice so that she can work in her own time frame and take the session wherever it needs to go.  Erin loves this work for its "spur of the moment, whatever walks in the door" quality and although there is always a treatment plan for the session that day, it usually goes "off the cuff" and she follows the bouncing ball wherever the client needs to go for their healing. ABOUT THE HOST Ariel is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Empath and Psychic who has been involved in holistic healing since 1988. She is also an educator, speaker, author and mentor for empaths, spiritual seekers and medical professionals.

In this episode of “The Journey of My Mother's Son” podcast, I sit down to talk with Tammy Goen. Tammy uses her Masters in Counseling Psychology and her previous experience as a Licensed Professional counselor, her EFT/Tapping and HeartMath Certifications, and years of experience and education in energy healing, stress management and mindfulness to offer a holistic approach to coaching Highly Sensitive People toward realization of their sensitivities as their Super Power. She helps them be themselves, be understood and be at peace, and develop confidence in the ability to handle life from a place of mindfulness and personal power. Tammy takes a unique approach to coaching.  She is passionate about life and living it to its fullest, and about helping others do the same. Her eclectic background has provided her with a broad scope through which to offer a unique, holistic approach that crosses many lines of thought and focus. Previous to coaching, as a Licensed Professional Counselor she worked with clients primarily from a Cognitive-Behavioral perspective, helping them become aware of limiting thoughts then learning to make shifts that ultimately created changes in behavior and increased success in daily living and relationships. After counseling for over 13 years, she learned therapeutic massage and energy work and enjoyed helping others achieve physical and energetic balance. Although she no longer offers massage, her training does allow her to help clients with postural, sleep and functional adjustments for specific physical complaints, and energy healing helps as well. Many years post-counseling, she began to miss working with clients to create emotional changes, and began her coaching direction. Her coaching is focused toward helping Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs) decrease stress, anxiety and overwhelm, develop healthy coping strategies and identify and reframe limiting beliefs. This incorporates developing self-compassion and self-love. To find out more about Tammy, check out her website at www.coachtammygoen.com.

This was an intense one for me. Stephen offered to do a “session” with me that quickly became very intense and powerful. I've experienced this on a few occasions as I've done the podcast. One time it was with Gabor Mate, and another time it was with Richard Schwartz. This experience for me was very timely, and thought provoking. I hope you enjoy it.Stephen Gyllenhaal is the founder of the Identity Development Institute whose mission is to grow a community of practitioners, researchers, and educators who are Early Trauma-informed across North America.Wounds from conception through pre-verbal development are a major cause of life-long challenges. Getting to the core of the matter allows these Early Traumas to be processed and opens space for each of us to live with more authenticity, power, and creativity.Stephen trained with Dr. Franz Ruppert and Marta Thorsheim in Oslo and Munich and facilitates ID sessions in North America as well as trains ID facilitators based on the IoPT method. He is a proud father and grandfather.For over 50 years Stephen has pursued two careers: 1) as an award-winning director of over 60 films and TV shows, including Losing Isaiah, Waterland, Homegrown, Twin Peaks, Rectify, Billions and Bosch; 2) as a “professional patient,” trying to gain clarity about his own personal issues through some form of therapy, analysis or 12 Step Program, including Cognitive Behavioral, Alderian, Attachment, Gestalt, Integrative, Jungian, Marriage and Family, Freudian and Kleinian Psychoanalysis, MPD (DID), Alanon, ACoA, SLAA and DA.He holds a Master's Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and sees himself as a fellow traveler with whomever shares the iD process with him, in either groups or in private sessions.He has come to understand that the iD process is the most powerful psychological tool he has had the privilege to encounter and is committed to making it available to everyone in North America no matter their life circumstance or personal issues.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5739761/advertisement
