What if the biggest obstacle in your life isn't your circumstances... but the story you keep telling yourself about them? In this eye-opening episode, April reveals how the narratives we unconsciously repeat shape our reality - and how to reclaim authorship of your life. Key Revelations:

In this episode, we explore Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), a proven, drug-free approach to better sleep. Insomnia affects millions, causing fatigue, mood issues, and a reduced quality of life. Unlike temporary fixes, CBT-I provides lasting improvements by addressing the mental and behavioral patterns that disrupt sleep. CBT-I includes techniques like Sleep Restriction, Stimulus Control, and Cognitive Restructuring. These methods help people build healthier sleep habits by limiting time in bed to promote sleep efficiency, associating the bed with sleep-only activities, and replacing negative thoughts about sleep with more positive, calming ones. Research shows that CBT-I is as effective as medication for chronic insomnia, with longer-lasting results. Join us as we unpack how CBT-I can lead to better sleep, improved focus, and an overall enhanced quality of life. Tune in to learn how small shifts in thoughts and habits can make a big difference in your sleep.

Included in this episode: Predisposed outlooks we see in the world around us. Patterns of thinking or beliefs Tendencies that are inaccurate or untrue The potential to inflict psychological harm Admitting you have false beliefs and distorted thoughts may be terrifying but no good comes from relieving these facilities daily. Cognitive reframing/restructuring Modifying behavior and core belief systems More positive and productive thoughts Types of Cognitive Distortions: Polarization of thoughts: a person creates acute thoughts surrounding polar opposite groups and ignores median steps with unrealistic proportions. Ex: thinking in extremes. “I'm never going to lose weight because I am broken/my metabolism is broken” Selective filtration: the one affected eliminates all positive events and deflects the attention to only the negative. They take comfort in the negative. Only sees their failure and considers their life a mess. They revisit the scenarios in their life that they fear the most/feel the most negative. Time consuming and keeps you from seeing the small wins necessary to take you from step to step in the weight loss process. “When I was little I was bullied for being overweight and that affects my body image to this day. I will continue to be criticized for my body whether I do the criticizing or others do it. No matter what, I am constantly thinking about my body and how negative the experience is to live in my own skin”. Overgeneralization: the one negative incident will become the normal ending for all other situations. They think something bad will happen every time, over and over again. No agency over outcomes. “I've never been able to lose weight so why would I be able to now”. No hope. Demand and perfectionism: inflexible and strict ideas of how other people and things ought to be. “The journey should be going this way or I should lose weight every day or I should have more progress than I do”. They find something wrong in everything Consequence of this is feeling guilty and having low self esteem. Shame. They always fall short of their expectations. Leading to anger of the process. How to manage these cognitive disorders: Identify the thought, look for the alternative thinking, analyze the productivity of your thoughts. They are just habits of thinking patterns that generally get set when you are young in response to negative events. Just change the habit of the pattern to change the outcome of the thought. “Cognitive Restructuring”. Examine the evidence for the claim your thought makes and work backwards. Is this true? Am I being negative right now? Are these just big feelings right now? Find a new perspective/change your mind/gather more information. Ekkovision - Code LEXWant to sign up for the one on one coaching waiting list? https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdYJp_eLAlWdwP2acJ4rnRCx_POiyxC9ymbDCtA6R04x9i4YA/viewformFind me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/caloriedeficit_/?hl=enTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lexbabb?lang=en

Ask David Unfairness Worthwhileness Erasing Depression with Lasers TEAM in the UK What's the Most Powerful Technique? We have lots of great questions today. The answers in the show notes were written prior to the podcast, and the answers in the live podcast as we discussed these questions may differ somewhat or amplify the written materials in these show notes. We love your questions. Remember to send them to David@feelinggood.com. Special Announcement Attend the Legendary Summer Intensive Featuring Drs. David Burns and Jill Levitt August 8 - 11. 2024 Learn Advanced TEAM-CBT skills Heal yourself, heal your patients First Intensive in 5 years! It will knock your socks off! Limited Seating--Act Fast Click for registration / more information! Sadly, this workshop is a training program which will be limited to therapists and mental health professionals and graduate students in a mental health field  Apologies, but therapists have complained when non-therapists have attended our continuing education training programs. This is partly because of the intimate nature of the small group exercises and the personal work the therapists may do during the workshop. Certified coaches and counselors are welcome to attend. But there's some good news, too! The Feeling Great App is now available in both app stores (IOS and Android) and is for therapists and the general public, and you can take a ride for free! Check it out! Today's Questions Kiernan asks about “unfairness” and the connection between worthwhileness and achievement. Brittany asks: Can you “erase” feelings of sadness and depression by shining lasers in the patient's eyes? James asks about the use of TEAM methods in the NHS in the UK Brian asks: Is positive reframing the most successful technique you have used with your patients? 1. Kieran asks (slightly edited for clarity): How would you talk back to negative thoughts like this one: “It's not fair that I can't afford quality food when there are millionaires that will have access to better food and a healthier lifestyle which has an effect on overall health and longevity'”? Or what if you feel like it's unfair that you should have to pay a lot of money for an expensive dental treatment that you can't afford? Kieran also asks (slightly edited by david): What if worthwhileness is not based on achievement but there are still things you would like to have and enjoy? They would buy and own things that they happen to like and not to impress others. Hi David and Ronda, and if Matt is on I have been listening to your wonderful podcast for about the last 3 years as I drive to work. It has really opened my eyes about how your thoughts create your interpersonal reality. Loved the podcasts on jealousy addiction, perfectionism, achievement addiction and many more. My questions would be: What about if someone wants to achieve more but it isn't based on worthwhileness? They would buy and own things that they happen to like and not to impress others. Let's say they wanted to be able to afford a nice house, healthier higher quality food and water. As the quality does have an effect on health especially in the US as the regulations are not the greatest. However, the fact that they couldn't afford to buy these upsets them? Thoughts: 'It's not fair that I can't afford quality food but there are millionaires that will have access to better food, lifestyle which has an effect on overall health and longevity' Or if someone has to pay for unexpected expensive dental treatment. Thoughts: 'It's not fair that I have to pay £14,000 for this treatment'. 'It should be more affordable to lower income households, as it is essential to have functional teeth' I hope I have explained this well, I would love to hear your thoughts. Keep doing what you are doing and all the best. Kieran   David's response Sure Kieran, if you like I will make this an Ask David question for a podcast. LMK if that's okay, and if it is okay to use your first name. Great question, and has to do with the theme of acceptance: should I or shouldn't I? Here are the quick versions, but we can discuss in more detail on the live podcast. First, I do not find it useful to base my worthwhileness on my achievements or on my failures. I do work hard and like creating things that are helpful to people, and I enjoy earning money to support my family. I can be motivated to work hard to get things we want or need, but I don't base anyone's worthwhileness on how much money they have, or anything, to be honest. In fact, I could also easily accept wanting to buy something really cool, not just because I like it, but because it might impress others, or because they might find it fascinating, too! I don't try to regulate my life with a lot of shoulds and shouldn'ts, and find that I am happier and more peaceful without lots of shoulds. In the Feeling Great App I have created a class called “Your PhD in Shoulds.” You might enjoy it! Second, you can say that it is unfair that some people have more money and resources than other people if you like. And you have every right to feel angry if that's what you want, as well. Acceptance is more of a decision than a technique. Take the fact that lions kill deer when they are hungry. You can say, “they should not do that. It's unfair!” But that won't stop a hungry lion. You don't have to LIKE seeing a lion kill an innocent deer, but you can accept it. Again, that's a choice. The behavior of a lion is dominated by millions of years of evolution. Humans are no different. One thing that sometimes helps is to make a list all the REALLY GOOD reasons NOT to accept the “unfairness” in the world. I'll bet you could come up with at least ten to fifteen strong reasons. Then you can ask yourself, “Given all those good reason NOT to accept the fact that some people have more and some people have fewer resources, maybe I should just stay good and angry! Why in the world would I want to change?” Also, when you find an injustice, you can use your energy being good and angry, and complain about it, or you can use your energy to do something about it. Or, you can also work to change yourself, instead of complaining about the world. I also have a new class on acceptance. It's called, “Accept this shit? Hell NO!” You might like it as well. I am babbling so will stop. Warmly, david   2. Brittany asks: Can you “erase” feelings of sadness and depression by shining lasers in the patient's eyes? Hi David, My husband's boss was telling him she's going to be doing some laser therapy to “cure” her depression. She had to undergo 9 hours of testing to see if she'd be a candidate. Apparently, they plan to shine lasers in her eyes to “erase” her sadness. Obviously, I assume this is a load of garbage. But have you ever heard of such a thing? Is this just hypnosis? Best, Brittany David's Reply Hi Brittany, Probably. As they say, follow the money! There is a placebo effect if you believe something will help, so tons of garbage gets served up as costly gourmet food. You can read up on this on the internet I suspect. Let me know what you learn! Best, david Brittany responds to David Love your answer! I was looking into it and read they use a cold laser in the eyes which allegedly releases endorphins. I already know from you that just like with exercise and that study about the endorphin blockers, it made no difference. People just feel better because they think they are doing something good for their body by exercising. They also allege that the lasers aid damaged neurological tissue. They claim it has helped many patients but there is no data backing it up that I see. They really lost me when I read that lack of activity, stress, and maternal deprivation cause depression in the first place. Thanks! Brittany David adds As it turns out, I know two laser experts who are regulars on my Sunday hikes. Dr. Alexander Makowski is a brilliant scientist who is involved in the research and development of lasers and their marketing. Here is his email, along with some terrific links to articles about the hype of “low light lasers.” Hope you enjoy the email and links from Alex: Hi David, I'll chime in too! From a different angle. Zak knows some great doctors who are doing real work, but the general field of low-level laser/ light therapy (LLLT) for medical issues has been fraught with charlatans for some years. (David note: Zak is a laser expert at the Stanford Medical School and is currently preparing a blog on the topic of LLLT. I will include a link to her blog when it is published, likely in a couple weeks. She is awesome and also often joins our Sunday hikes!) Dr, Alex Makowsy continues Good work by Tiina Kaaru (https://www.spiedigitallibrary.org/profile/Tiina.Karu-8010) and Juanita Anders (https://www.usuhs.edu/profile/juanita-anders-ms-phd) on mechanisms behind using light to stimulate our mitochondria or deactivate infectious bacteria are well documents However, the good work done by the few was overshadowed and worse, was perverted for many years into crackpot devices using bad stats and poorly designed studies. Or sometimes just straight preying on vulnerable people. It is the great shame of the laser industry. Worse yet, some of these devices were actual lasers that led to people getting hurt. I can't recommend in good conscience that lasers be shone into eyes at any time other than diagnostic devices meant to diagnose the eye itself. It may be that some day soon a good scientific body of evidence changes my stance but not yet... The story starts in the origin of my journey into light and lasers. I got involved in this field in 2005 while taking an elective class on optics and lasers when I got a call from my mom that she was seeking a laser therapy for her fibromyalgia. My mother's desire to get her fibromyalgia treated with a "cold laser" pulled me into this field since I was taking a class with a professor who later became my doctoral mentor. A full semester of my free time disappeared as I tried to source out of print articles and do a deep dive on whether this was real or garbage. A research term paper and a conference visit later I could finally see the same trends you saw with medication. I talked her out of the potentially dangerous unproven device usage. [As you may have suspected, In fact my mom was having significant issues in her marriage and life and a very good doctor set her straight. My mom divorced and is now happily remarried, about 95 pounds lighter, no fibromyalgia or serious insomnia. If only we had known you back then she would have recovered in a session or two rather than 3 years] However, in the process, I dug into some of the real research that small doses of light can affect our bodies in ways we don't understand fully due to lack of research. Fast forward several decades and some of the best researchers survived the public scandal of LLLT and found a scientific mechanism (cytochrome c oxidase activation) to explain observed changes in mitochondrial activity. However, the scientists don't claim to cure everything or anything. Then they published this mitochondrial activation and suddenly: This, of course, proves that blogablum does in fact exist and now the truth about the panacea is available for all!! David note: “blogablum” is a fake nonsense word I made up that refers to nothing meaningful. Now continuing with the Alex email: This is a good review of the history and current evidence about it : https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/medical-critical-thinking/hype-around-photobiomodulation But if you want the real goods, the hard truth about cold lasers has been out there for over 15 years: Introducing the New Low Level Laser Treatment! youtu.be The following search on YouTube will reveal the secrets of the universe: "cold laser before:2009" Warmly, Alexander J Makowski, Ph.D. Dr. Matt May's reply Hi David, Thank you for forwarding this question to me.  I am very concerned and wonder if this may fall under the category of 'malpractice'. For one, I am unaware of any FDA approved treatment for depression that involves shining lasers into people's eyes to erase their sad memories.  For a list of FDA approved treatments for depression, you could refer to: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK559078/ It's possible that there is new evidence I'm not aware of, but I searched online for studies of light in treatment of depression and was unable to find any placebo-controlled trials.  This is a problem because placebo responses can be so high in the case of depression and anxiety.  There were some studies on light therapy, but nothing fitting the description of 'shining lasers into eyes to erase sad memories'. Other concerns I have relate to the high cost of such an extensive “evaluation”, as well as possible risk of shining lasers into someone's eyes.  In the absence of evidence supporting the treatment, it seems like a high cost, and potential risk, to the patient, hence my concern for malpractice. It's pretty common for people with depression to feel a sense of desperation, especially after many failed efforts to address their symptoms.  This group of individuals are likely to be extremely susceptible to scams and purveyors of 'snake oil' (sham treatments). It's also concerning to me because the theory behind the idea of shining light into people's eyes to erase sadness doesn't make logical sense to me.  It's a potentially-testable hypothesis, but it's such an absurd hypothesis that I don't see it as worth testing or entertaining. If we are defining depression as some combination of worthless, hopeless, ashamed and guilty feelings, then the hypothesis that such feelings could be meaningfully addressed by such a crude instrument as a laser or a pill or an electrical impulse is absurd. This is because our feelings arise from our thoughts/perceptions.  I've never met a single person or patient who was suffering from depression but had healthy positive thoughts about themselves.  I've also never met someone who had patterns of negative thinking, but felt fine, up-beat and positive. The idea that a pill, a laser, a magnetic pulsation or electrical current could selectively alter the specific thoughts that cause depression doesn't make sense with what we know about the brain and thoughts and feelings.  How could a pill, for example, which crosses the blood-brain barrier and impacts every neuron in the brain, selectively target only the neurons that give rise to depressed thinking?  It's like imagining that we could carpet-bomb a city but only kill the murderers and rapists. I'd encourage all potential clients who are receiving treatment for depression or other conditions to ask their providers for literature that documents the effectiveness of the treatment and to get a second opinion if they are unsure. These are my 2-cents on the topic and I could be completely wrong about it all.  Hoping to hear from others what they think. Also, David, I saw several other people included in the invitation to respond to this question but I didn't see them cc'd.  Perhaps they were bcc'd? Wishing you the best, fondly, Matt David's reply to Matt Thanks, yes, I have a fantastic response already in the show notes from Dr. Alex Makowski who does research and development of lasers with valid medical applications. His thrust is similar to yours. Our field is littered with junk “scientism” intended to fool and exploit people, similar to the snake oil salespeople who use to go from town to town in America selling magical “elixirs” that “cured” just about everything! But people are endlessly gullible, and con artists are still in endless abundance these days, it seems! Best, david Will add your kind and thoughtful comment to the show notes!   3. James asks about the use of TEAM methods in the NHS in the UK. Hi Rhonda, I hope you are well. I had a couple of questions for an 'ask David' on the podcast if that's okay. A bit of background.... I am Level 1 Team and have attended David's training in Atlanta. I live in the UK and have recently changed career to work in the NHS delivering CBT interventions for patients because David's work inspired me so much. The NHS uses specific interventions for particular diagnoses and because I am in training I have to try and stick to this. I do use the TEAM materials and approach when I can and have already seen some great results. The NHS uses 'Behavioural Activation' for certain patients with Depression and I just wondered what David thought about the effectiveness of this (perhaps compared to Cognitive Restructuring). I believe Beck introduced this into the CBT model as he thought it was useful. Another question was regarding treatment of GAD and whether dividing worries between hypothetical and practical, and then using a certain time to actually worry rather than letting the worries dominate throughout the day was something he thought was useful or had heard about. Thanks so much for all the great work you are all doing and inspiring people all over the world! Kind Regards James Bibby. David's response Hi James, Thanks for the great questions. In today's recording of an upcoming Ask David podcast, we can address: The history of “Behavioral Activation,” including the pros and cons of this approach. The history and pros and cons of “Worry Breaks.” The idea of matching a “technique” to a “diagnosis,” as opposed to learning to treat the whole patient with TEAM. The results of our latest research with the Feeling Great App, and whether it might have some value for patients struggling with depression and anxiety disorders in the UK. Best, David Matt's Thots: Great question! I'm looking forward to discussing. There are certainly some techniques that are more effective, than others, for addressing specific negative thoughts. Meanwhile there are a number of problems that come up when we are, as clinicians, throwing solutions at diagnoses, rather than treating the human being who is suffering. Studies on the treatment of PTSD at the VA, for example, showed veterans often got worse after this approach, in which their diagnosis was matched with a method, ‘prolonged exposure', without any agenda-setting. This just retraumatized lots of veteran! Similarly, if someone is secretly blaming, and haven't experienced the ‘death of the blaming self', they might be assigned ‘communication skills training', only to see this backfire, because their intent is still to try to change someone, rather than accept them. You might tell a patient with depression that they should go exercise, only to cause them to resist you, ‘you don't understand, I can't even get out of bed!'. In short, most therapy fails or even makes patients worse because it doesn't consider the good reasons to continue to blame, give up, criticize ourselves, etc. 4. Brian asks: Is positive reframing the most successful technique you have used with your patients? I can see how it would cure someone in 2 hours! Feel free to use my question and do and use my name if you wish. I'd be honored. Best, Brian David's reply Hi Brian, Thanks. Great question! It's one of the latest powerful techniques, but Ext of Voices might still be the “champion.” Using them in the T, E, A, M sequence is especially powerful. Positive Reframing often gets them closer, but not quite all the way to enlightenment. Externalization of voices (EOV) often gets them over the finish line, especially if you know how to use it skillfully, incorporating Self-Defense with the Acceptance Paradox and Counter-Attack Technique! In fact, you can incorporate many of my > 100 techniques when using EOV, such as Be Specific, Semantic Technique, Examine the Evidence, and a host of other. Best, david Matt's comments I agree, Positive Reframing and Externalization of Voices are incredibly powerful and it's often what we're doing when we see recoveries. What works for a given individual, however, is quite hard to predict, in advance and there's a ‘process' to therapy, such that we can't really skip steps, except in some unusual circumstances. Some other super-powerful methods include Externalization of Resistance, Double Standard, Flooding, Feared Fantasy, and the Hidden Emotion Technique. I'm probably forgetting some. Thanks for listening today! Matt, Rhonda and David

This episode is an adapted version of a presentation that Adam Barfoot, M.Ed., LPC-MHSP, gave at the 2024 Tennessee Licensed Professional Counselors Conference in Nashville, Tennessee on June 15th, 2024. In this episode, Adam discusses the therapeutic skill of encouragement, the Adlerian philosophical concepts of how all actions are purposeful, phenomenology (which means therapists understanding their clients' perspectives), and lifestyle (which means the client's blueprint for facing challenges in life). Adam also discusses the 4 phases of Adlerian therapy in this episode. While this episode, is not a complete overview of Adlerian therapy, this episode is about how Adam specifically implements Adlerian therapy with clients who are in recovery from addiction.

Are you ready to finally gain control over your excessive worrying and live a more fulfilling life? In today's episode of Hello Therapy, I delve into the underlying beliefs that fuel excessive worry and share powerful strategies for overcoming it. We'll explore the often invisible yet powerful beliefs that convince us that worry is a badge of care or a tool for perceived control in our lives—beliefs that may be entwined with our very sense of self. I'll challenge you to consider if these notions truly reflect who you are or merely feed the worry beast within.Join me as we navigate a transformative, evidence-based tool, cognitive defusion, where you'll learn to distance yourself from anxious thoughts and worries that demand your attention. Like skillfully avoiding clickbait online, I'll teach you techniques to 'unhook' from negative thoughts and share strategies you can apply immediately. Whether it's writing down your worries to diminish their power or singing them away to the melody of your favourite tune, this episode will help you create a more peaceful mindscape. Topics covered:Introduction to WorryInternal mechanisms of worry - worry beliefsBelief 1 - being a worrier as a positive identityBelief 2 - worrying helps in feeling more in controlBelief 3 - worry prevents negative outcomesBelief 4 - worrying is uncontrollableCognitive defusion and unhooking from worrySpecific defusion strategiesMore free downloads and resources to support your mental health and wellbeing: https://www.harleyclinical.co.uk/free-mental-health-downloadable-guidesJoin our email list for more mental health tips: https://mailchi.mp/harleyclinical/newsletter-sign-upFor private psychology services and therapy in person (London/Hertfordshire) or online, please visit Harley Clinical Psychology.*****************Subscribe to our YouTube channelFollow Harley Clinical on InstagramFollow Dr Liz White on InstagramFollow Dr Liz White on TikTok*****************DISCLAIMER - The Hello Therapy podcast and the information provided by Dr Liz White (DClinPsy, CPsychol, AFBPsS, CSci, HCPC reg.), is solely intended for informational and educational purposes and does not constitute personalised advice.

Live your truth. Love is love. You do you. You're worth it. Just do it. These are some of the phrases common in today's culture. The problem is, they are completely at odds with Torah hashkafa. Lo sachmod beis rayecha. Lo sachmod aishes rayecha. Do not desire your friend's house. Do not desire your friend's wife. In fact, don't desire anything that belongs to him. So says the aseres hadibros in this week's parsha. But why not? Society cries. ‘How can I deny my feelings? Why should I oppress my love for this person? Why shouldn't I have the house I want, the car I want? Afterall, I can split the payments, put it on the credit card…'This week's Shmuz on the Parsha invites you to embrace a complete paradigm shift. The Torah tells us we can and must control our thinking, our emotions and our actions. We are held accountable to a high standard. How can we train our brain to become more elevated, more holy and simply nicer people? Catch this week's shmuz and prepare to become a better version… of yourself.

Relationships are built on communication.  We are creatures of habit and our conversations tend to follow habits formed by our thoughts.  We can begin to have automatic responses to conversations or topics that create cycles of confrontation.  Learn the fundamentals of Cognitive Restructuring or Cognitive Reframing as a 4-step process of mindfulness to break the cycle for intentional, productive conversations.

Problematic thinking patterns and cognitive restructuring

According to legend, Thomas Edison made thousands of prototypes of the incandescent light bulb before he finally got it right. And, since the prolific inventor was awarded more than 1,000 patents, it's easy to imagine him failing on a daily basis in his lab at Menlo Park. In spite of struggling with “failure” throughout his entire working life, Edison never let it get the best of him. All of these “failures”, which are reported to be in the tens of thousands, simply showed him how not to invent something. His resilience gave the world some of the most amazing inventions of the early 20th century, such as the phonograph, the telegraph, and the motion picture. It's hard to imagine what our world would be like if Edison had given up after his first few failures. His inspiring story forces us to look at our lives- do we have the resilience that we need to overcome our challenges? Or do we let our failures derail our dreams? And what could we accomplish if we had the strength not to give up? In this episode, we'll examine resilience and cognitive restructuring, so that we have the strength and fortitude to overcome adversity, and to keep on moving forward towards our dreams and our goals.

We all want to be liked and loved—it's a natural part of our desire and need for human connection. In fact, from the moment we are born, we begin seeking connection. However, while this desire is innate, there can be a tipping point where being liked and loved turns into seeking approval and validation through the assurance of others. We all have that one friend, or maybe you are that friend, that appears to be quote “big-hearted,” always eager to lend a hand, and wants everyone around them to thrive, be happy, and fulfilled, even if it comes at their detriment. This kind of connection seeking is a hallmark trait of people-pleasing. And today, we are taking a one-on-one deep dive into the truth behind people-pleasing, how it often begins, the cycle of attachment, and how we break up with the need to seek validation outside of ourselves. So, let's shift our perspective and ability to be who we are regardless of our past or others' good opinions. Key Takeaways: 00:00 Introduction 01:36 Do you struggle with people-pleasing?    04:00 A standard definition of people-pleasing 04:21 Common traits of people-pleasers 07:10 We must unpack the root of people-pleasing behavior – it's an adaptive mechanism for our safety 13:29 The cycle of attachment and how this comes into play with please-pleasing: Needs, Expression of Emotions, Gratification, and Trust 15:58 Your brain will always look for the safest route in your thoughts, feelings, and actions 16:38 How the attachment cycle can hurt us when we people-please   19:30 The negative impacts of people-pleasing: self-betrayal, higher stress, anxiety, and so much more   22:40 We can break our relationships by not honoring our personal needs 25:11 Emotional health is essential, and people-pleasing puts you in a mental cage 27:07 We are all required to meet our own needs   28:15 Step 1: Acknowledgement will always lead to change 29:54 Step 2: Self-compassion and release of judgment     31:25 An exercise for people-pleasing ourselves when we are in the negative happen of doing it for everyone else 33:08 Step 3: Looking at what triggers you into “helpful behavior” or if it's from a learned behavior habit – getting into the “why” 34:26 Step 4: Look at our daily practices and how we show up. Engaging in the pause and rejecting the automatic yes 35:31 Step 5: The questions to ask ourselves when we find ourselves wanting to jump in for others 37:08 Step 6: Practicing honesty in complete authenticity    40:09 Step 7: Gauge the people you keep close 42:21 There is some trauma work that cannot be done alone. Reach out and seek help. Sessions with me can be found: One-on-One Sessions — Danielle A. Vann (danielleavann.com) 44:20 The biggest question to ask yourself: What need am I trying to fulfill for others that I'm unwilling to meet for myself?   If you want to get your life together, you have to get serious about what you need and desire, and then work to shift the behaviors set in place so long ago. I dare you to be brave enough to do the work, and it's an essential step into getting your life together, girl. Love this episode and want to keep the inspiration and conversation going?

In this weeks episode of The Playful Psychologist podcast, I explore a technique called 'cognitive restructuring.' Cognitive restructuring is a useful technique for understanding unhappy feelings and moods, and for challenging the sometimes-wrong "automatic beliefs" that can lie behind them. As such, you can use it to reframe the unnecessary negative thinking that we all experience from time to time.This episode will explore the steps that psychologists can undertake in order to use this technique with their clients.

If you have spent any time working toward personal growth or have read any personal development books you have likely heard the term “limiting beliefs.” While the conversation around limiting beliefs seems to be the “it” topic right now, many do not go deep enough into these psychological defense mechanisms to explain what they are, let alone where they come from. Today, we're taking a one-on-one deep dive into how limiting beliefs negatively impact your life, how we trick our brains into believing our limits are keeping us safe, and I'll walk you step-by-step into identifying your limiting beliefs, and most importantly how to shatter them and ultimately eradicate them from your life! If you are ready to get your life together, and grow in ways you've yet to even imagine, this is the conversation that may just put you on the path! Key Takeaways: 00:00 Introduction 01:53 A series of statements that help you identify “normal” limiting beliefs—the speak of our limits 04:11 The brain is the gatekeeper and processor of every bit of information that comes into your awareness 05:15 We are mean making machines. We are the ones who place value on our thoughts and feelings. This is highly important when it comes to limiting beliefs.    06:30 An example of neutral thoughts and how we develop limiting beliefs by our value placement 11:30 Our working definition of self-limiting beliefs 13:00 Whatever limiting statement you feed yourself becomes the filter in which you see the world 15:00 Limiting beliefs drive fear, anxiety, and life dissatisfaction   16:35 Most of our limits can be traced back to our childhood: how these small moments create long-lasting issues 19:25 Trauma and past experiences lead to limiting beliefs, too   20:15 How to identify what limiting beliefs sounds like in our daily conversations 21:20 Doing an honest assessment is the first step in breaking limiting beliefs 23:07 Question #1 for self-assessment: What area of my life am I afraid or anxious to act on?    23:43 Question #2: What are the areas I wish were different or need improvement?   23:57 Question #3: Where do I want to be in each of these areas?    24:20 Question #4: Where did this limit begin?

From: www.successstartswithin.com “Eli brings a proactive and applicable approach to mental training. He believes that repetition is the key to success and so it is no different when it comes to mental training. Eli's philosophy is to make mental training a habit that becomes part of your daily routine. That is how he believes lasting change can be created.” While an extensive athletic background is an indicator of who his message can reach, one of Eli's primary goals is to make mental training something easy for anyone else too! He is a certified mental performance coach and a professional baseball player who just recently returned from playing in Belgium. His journey takes him full circle to this point in time where he is growing his 1-on-1 mental performance coaching business.

When someone doesn't show up when expected, we might be tempted to think, "something happened!" This usually has a negative connotation, like they were in an accident. However, when we think, "something came up" it's neutral and not likely to send is into a tailspin of negativity and anxiety. You can purposely choose this "thought work" to bring you more peace and serenity.

Have you been stuck in the zone of misery where you can't see the way out? One powerful way to get you out of that zone and take off your stress is to restructure your thoughts and beliefs! Let's train our minds to think healthily through cognitive restructuring! For show notes and resources mentioned, visit ourHappyMindTravel.com/21

Today we're delving into the science behind rewiring the brain using cognitive restructuring, We're sharing an excerpt from the audio book "Rewire Your Anxious Brain: How to Use the Neuroscience of Fear to End Anxiety, Panic, and Worry." Thought patterns that are illogical or unhealthy can exacerbate anxiety or stress. Cognitive therapists focus on identifying and changing thoughts that are self-defeating or dysfunctional, particularly thoughts that lead to increased levels of anxiety or depression. This approach is known as cognitive restructuring. By changing your thoughts, you can establish new patterns of responding in the brain that become stable and lasting.
