Podcasts about nothing thinking

This episode is brought to you by Strong Coffee Company, Supp Co, and WHOOP. In this episode of Ever Forward Radio, psychologist and addiction expert Dr. Adi Jaffe reframes addiction, compulsive behavior, and self-sabotage as intelligent coping strategies rather than personal failures. He explains why labeling people as "addicts" creates shame and traps identity, how early childhood and even preverbal experiences shape adult behavior, and why most habits don't change through awareness alone. Dr. Jaffe introduces his SPARROW Behavioral Loop—stimulus, perception, activation, response, outcome—to show how emotions and bodily sensations, not events themselves, drive behavior. Together, they explore identity, responsibility without blame, growth mindset, emotional regulation, stoicism, belief systems, and why sustainable change comes from reshaping perception and nervous system responses rather than fighting behaviors directly. This conversation offers a compassionate, practical framework for breaking patterns and moving forward—without shame.

All-or-nothing thinking is one of the most common — and most damaging — thought patterns I see in autism parenting.If today is hard, it suddenly feels like everything is hard. If your child is struggling, it feels impossible for you to beokay.And over time, hope, joy, and motivation quietly slip away.In this episode, we're diving deep into how all-or-nothing thinking shows up when you're raising an autistic child — not because you're negative or doing something wrong, but because your body has learned to live on high alert.When unpredictability becomes your norm, your nervoussystem adapts. And when the body doesn't feel safe, connection, flexibility, and perspective shut down.In this episode, I share:• Real examples of what all-or-nothing thinking looks like in daily autism parenting• Why this isn't a mindset failure — it's a nervous system response• How chronic stress keeps moms stuck in survival mode• Coaching strategies I use to help moms move out of misery without pretending life is easy• The reframe that changes everything: “Your body didn't break. It adapted.”We are not downplaying how hard this journey is —because it is hard.But you do have a choice not to live your life in misery.I'll also share why I created the RESET Coaching Workshop and how it helps moms regulate their nervous system, extreme thinking, and reconnect with themselves again — without guilt or pressure.

SummaryIn this episode, Chase and Chris talk all about the all-or-nothing mindset—that feeling like if things don't go perfectly, you might as well give up. Sound familiar? You're not alone!They walk through simple and real ways to stop thinking this way and show you how to keep moving forward, even when things don't go exactly as planned. From giving yourself permission to enjoy foods you love, to learning how to reset during the day instead of waiting for Monday, this episode is packed with helpful tips to make progress feel possible again.Whether it's getting back on track after nachos or setting smaller goals that you can hit, you'll walk away feeling more in control and less stressed about being perfect.Chapters(00:00) Intro: The All-or-Nothing Trap(00:52) You're Not Really an All-or-Nothing Person(01:36) How Language Shapes Your Identity(02:40) Why Mindset and Affirmations Matter(03:45) Getting Back on Track After “Going Off Plan”(05:23) Giving Yourself Permission Without Guilt(06:11) Real Coaching Example: Planning for a Meal Out(07:56) Lower the Bar Instead of Quitting(10:09) Start Small: Commit to Just 5 Minutes(13:31) Make It Enjoyable and Stack Habits(13:35) Track Your Food, Even If It's “Messy”(15:07) Using Data Without Guilt(16:59) End the Day with One Good Choice(18:33) Build Trust by Finishing Strong(19:49) Don't Rely on Willpower—Change Your Environment(21:14) Out of Sight, Out of Mind: Real-Life Solutions(24:26) The “Grocery Store Storage Unit” Analogy(24:51) Focus on One Meal or One Day at a Time(26:37) Break the Day Into Thirds(28:04) Stop Negotiating with Yourself(29:21) Plan for Imperfections (and Make Room for the Cookie)(30:14) How Past Dieting Promotes All-or-Nothing Thinking(31:25) Wrapping It Up: You're Already More Consistent Than You ThinkSUBMIT YOUR QUESTIONS to be answered on the show: https://forms.gle/B6bpTBDYnDcbUkeD7How to Connect with Us:Chase's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/changing_chase/Chris' Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/conquer_fitness2021/Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/665770984678334/Interested in 1:1 Coaching: https://conquerfitnessandnutrition.com/1on1-coachingJoin The Fit Fam Collective: https://conquerfitnessandnutrition.com/fit-fam-collective

If you've been feeling like your only options are to stay miserable or burn it all down, this episode is for you.In today's episode, I'm talking about how all-or-nothing thinking shows up in our careers, particularly for high achievers  and why this black-and-white mindset keeps so many capable, talented people feeling stuck, frustrated, and disengaged.I share why this way of thinking actually makes a lot of sense given how you've been rewarded throughout your career, and why shifting from making “forever decisions” to treating your career as a series of experiments can unlock clarity, confidence, and momentum.✨ What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy all-or-nothing thinking feels logical, and how it quietly keeps you stuckHow high achievers get trapped by the belief that every career move must be perfect and permanentWhy clarity doesn't come before action, it's created through actionHow to reframe career decisions as experiments instead of life sentencesWhat it really looks like to move forward without having everything figured out

In this episode of “Mindful Mystics,” Karen, Cheryl, and Chuckie G discuss how to approach 2026 with intention instead of pressure. The conversation unpacks why New Year's resolutions so often fail, how small, repeatable actions create lasting change, and what it really means to detox spiritually — from clearing physical and emotional clutter to releasing habits, beliefs, and self-talk that no longer serve. Along the way, we share personal experiences with goal reframing, motivation, identity shifts, and end-of-year cleansing rituals designed to support sustainable growth in the year ahead.

[01:51] Why One or Two Goals Beat “A Bazillion” Narrowing focus protects your energy and improves results — because dividing attention across too many goals usually means sacrificing quality and follow-through. [04:40] Why New Year's Resolutions Fail Resolutions often come from guilt or comparison, aim for total transformation, ignore underlying habits, and treat the new year as a “reset” instead of a continuation. [05:58] Big Goals vs. Mini Goals Chuck breaks down why huge goals can trigger discouragement, while small “moment-by-moment” steps build momentum — and let your plan evolve as you evolve. [08:33] Karen's “Eat Less, Move More” Blueprint Karen shares how she started with tiny, doable changes and gradually leveled up — using hiking (pleasure) and health reality (fear) as twin motivators. [19:49] Identity Shift: “I Am Somebody Who…” The real win is when a goal becomes part of who you are — not just something you're trying to do. That's when habits stick. [21:33] All-or-Nothing Thinking and Self-Talk A deep, relatable moment on spiraling after a “bad day,” learning to stop harsh self-judgment, and reframing progress as “five minutes more than yesterday.” [22:53] Cheryl's Goal Reframe: Designing Success Without Pressure Cheryl walks through how she's rewriting goals for 2026 — shifting from rigid outcomes (“lose 20 pounds,” “organize the house by February”) to gentle, repeatable actions such as moving her body regularly, tidying for 10 minutes a day, and stepping outside daily. [30:55] Habit Tracking That Actually Motivates Karen recommends “Streaks” for gamifying habits — and the group talks about pleasing your fitness tracker (and why it works for some personalities). [38:47] What “Spiritual Detoxing” Means Spiritual detox is clearing mental and emotional clutter, releasing draining habits/beliefs/relationships, letting go of resentment and guilt, and choosing progress over perfection. [39:25] Physical Decluttering as Spiritual Decluttering Karen connects cleaning, unsubscribing from inbox chaos, and decluttering to emotional and spiritual clarity — a practical, grounded approach to “detox.” [41:11] Chuck's End-of-Year Cleansing Rituals Breathwork, meditation visuals, Reiki, smudging the home, and intention-setting with candles — building a transition ritual into the new year. [43:39] Seasonal Affective Disorder and the Luminette 3 Karen shares how a light-therapy wearable helped her feel like her “summer self,” plus habits that support circadian rhythm (happy lamp, walking in natural light, melatonin). [48:04] Closing: “Have a Great Start to 2026” A warm send-off with encouragement, plus a reminder to revisit the motivation episode for tools that make follow-through more sustainable.

SummaryIn this episode, Chase and Chris talk all about the mindset struggles around food during the holidays. It's not just about willpower—it's how your brain reacts to feeling like food is limited. That's called a scarcity mindset. The guys explain why holiday foods feel so tempting, why we feel out of control, and how to shift into an abundance mindset instead. They share tips, real client stories, and simple steps to help you enjoy the holidays without going overboard. You'll learn how to feel in control again, not anxious or guilty around food. Whether it's cookies at home or a big holiday dinner, they show you how to keep making progress—without missing out.Chapters(00:00) Why This Episode Matters During the Holidays(01:00) Client Story: Holiday Food, Childhood, and Guilt(02:20) The “Last Supper” Effect and Scarcity Mindset(05:50) Why Skipping Meals Backfires(07:30) All-or-Nothing Thinking and Holiday Overeating(08:45) Grandma's Pie, Dopamine, and Food Obsession(10:00) Flexible Dieting and Improving Food Relationships(11:00) What an Abundance Mindset Really Means(12:30) Examples of Scarcity vs. Abundance Around Food(14:45) Changing Your Environment and Food Habits(17:00) Building Trust Around Trigger Foods(18:35) How to Shift From Scarcity to Abundance(20:00) Planning Ahead and Staying Present(22:30) Reframing Your Thoughts About the Holidays(24:30) Small Wins to Practice During Holiday Meals(26:00) Celebrate the Wins, Even the Tiny Ones(28:00) Remembering What Really Matters(30:00) Creating Food Freedom and Long-Term Mindset Change(33:00) Wrapping Up and Final ThoughtsSUBMIT YOUR QUESTIONS to be answered on the show: https://forms.gle/B6bpTBDYnDcbUkeD7How to Connect with Us:Chase's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/changing_chase/Chris' Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/conquer_fitness2021/Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/665770984678334/Interested in 1:1 Coaching: https://conquerfitnessandnutrition.com/1on1-coachingJoin The Fit Fam Collective: https://conquerfitnessandnutrition.com/fit-fam-collective

Have you ever noticed how motherhood can make everything feel high stakes? One minute you're calm and connected to your teen, and the next, you're spiraling into worry, certain that everything is going south. That's the All or Nothing Trap, and if you've ever found yourself stuck there, you're not alone. As moms of teens and almost empty nesters, we're navigating a season of constant change — where letting go can feel like losing control. And it's no wonder our minds cling to extremes: if our kids are thriving, we feel okay… but if they're struggling, we immediately assume we've failed. In this episode, I unpack why your brain defaults to this kind of thinking — and how it quietly fuels anxiety, perfectionism, and self-doubt. You'll learn how to see these patterns for what they really are — your brain's instinct to protect you — and how to gently retrain your mind to find peace in the gray. I'll share stories from my own life and from moms I coach, showing how all-or-nothing thinking can show up as we raise and launch our big kids. If you're ready to let go of anxiety and feel grounded no matter what's happening around you, this episode will help you find your footing.

Have you ever caught yourself thinking, “If it's not perfect, it's a failure”? I get it. Moms do this all the time, especially when we're building something new. The truth is, that black-and-white, all-or-nothing thinking? It's keeping you stuck.All-or-nothing thinking is that sneaky voice that tells you something either worked or it didn't, that you're either succeeding or failing, with no space for anything in between. This filter feels like clarity, but it's actually shutting down your learning and keeping you frozen at the starting line.Listen in this week to discover how the all-or-nothing mindset trap keeps so many mom entrepreneurs stuck before they even begin, and a simple 3-question framework to turn every experience into valuable data. If you've ever felt like "nothing is working," this episode will completely transform how you view progress in your business.For more information, transcript, and show notes, click here: jenna.coach/74Join me for a free strategy session by clicking here: https://mom.jenna.coach/applyYou're invited to join us every 2nd Thursday for my free Mom Entrepreneurs Circle.

SummaryIn this episode, Chase and Chris talk with Allicia, a mom of two and a client of Chris who has been on a powerful health journey over the past year and a half. Allicia opens up about how her life changed after having her second child, going through a divorce, and still choosing to keep showing up for herself.She shares how she went from feeling lost and overwhelmed to confident and strong—both physically and mentally.

In episode 215 of The Alcohol ReThink Podcast, Patrick explores the trap of all or nothing thinking, the mindset that tells us we 'always' do this or 'never' do that.From 'I've had one, I may as well keep going' to 'If I can't moderate, what's the point?', these absolutes feel like facts in the moment, but often they just cloud our judgment and keep us stuck in the cycle.Patrick breaks down what all or nothing thinking actually is, how it shows up around alcohol (and in other parts of life), and why it can sometimes be helpful, but only if you recognise it as a choice. He shares real-world examples from his own journey and his clients, and shows how to step into the middle ground where real progress is made.Key takeaways from this episode:What all or nothing thinking really is and how to recognise it.How 'always' and 'never' statements shape your mindset.Why all or nothing thinking sometimes helps, but often holds you back.The power of finding the middle ground when it comes to change.Real-life examples of shifting from extremes to progress.If you've ever felt like one slip wipes out all your progress, this episode will help you see things differently and give yourself permission to keep moving forward.Work with Patrick:Get 1-1 coaching, quit drinking and start showing up like the man you want to be in life.

Always, Never, Either or. These are words that are often used when we get stuck in "All or Nothing" thinking.  Our brains love to know, to hae clarity and understanding, so it is very easy for quick decisions and judgements to be made. However, sometimes these quick judgments lead to all-or-nothing thinking that isn't correct and allows little room for middle ground or a grey area. In today's podcast, we are going to talk about all-or-nothing thinking.  We are going to discuss some examples of some times I've seen this show up in myself, my coaching, and with family, and how to navigate through this! First, instead of using the more rigid words like always and never, try using more flexible language.   Second, catch yourself when you are using all-or-nothing or black and white talk.  This awareness is a HUGE first step! Another tip, say BOTH! Rath than assume that things have to be either/or, they can be BOTH! We are all awesome and flawed! Ask Questions! "Is this true?" Is always a great place to start! And last, COMPASSION! Talk to yourself like a trusted friend, family member, or the Savior. As you practice these tips even one time a day, this will give you so much leverage and awareness on your thought patterns and expand our all-or-nothing thinking into an approach with room for the middle ground!

We all know the detrimental effects of all or nothing thinking when it comes to health and fitness, so why do we think that way when it comes to our businesses? All or nothing typically ends up being nothing, so if you're starting an online business, it's paramount to take messy action and overcome perfectionism. Expecting perfection from yourself will only lead to burn out and abandonment. By taking immediate action rather than waiting for the perfect moment, you will always find yourself closer to your goals. Progress is always better than perfection.   Get on the waitlist for FBA: https://jillfitfree.com/fba-waitlist/   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.

Ever catch yourself saying, “If I can't do it perfectly, why bother?” or “One mistake means I've failed completely”?

Send us a textAll-or-nothing thinking is a common mental pattern in children that can be frustrating for parents who want to help their kids gain perspective and stay emotionally grounded. We explore what's happening beneath the surface when kids think in extremes, and how we can gently support more balanced and resilient thinking.• Children's brains are still developing, especially in the prefrontal cortex responsible for complex thought and emotional regulation• Binary thinking (black and white, all good or all bad) is a normal developmental stage, not a flaw to be fixed• The emotional centers of a child's brain develop before their reasoning centers, explaining many extreme reactions• Identifying when your child is stuck in all-or-nothing thinking is the first step to helping them• Validate emotions without reinforcing extreme statements - say "losing feels frustrating" instead of "you don't always lose"• Model continuum thinking by verbalizing your own balanced thoughts out loud• Use language that adds nuance like "sometimes" and "a part of me feels..."• Praise effort, courage, and learning rather than just outcomes to build a growth mindset• Recognize that moving from all-or-nothing to nuanced thinking is a developmental journey*Did you know? I'm currently opening a few one-to-one coaching spots for moms who are ready to go deeper and get personalized support as they build their own resilience.

In this episode, we explore how all or nothing thinking can hold people back from making real progress, especially in fitness and self-development. We unpack the fear of failure that often comes with this mindset and how it can lead to a cycle of inconsistency. Instead of aiming for perfection, we talk about the importance of small, actionable steps and the power of simply showing up. We dive into why focusing on the process matters more than obsessing over outcomes, and how learning from failure is part of long-term success.

Ever feel like your brain just won't quit, and traditional meditation only makes it worse? Thinkydoers host Sara Lobkovich gets it. She lives mostly in her head, and practices like meditation or breathwork have often felt out of reach. They seemed like they were designed for people who are naturally calm and centered — not her.But this conversation with Chauna Bryant shifted everything. Chauna is a trauma-informed breathwork professional, and founder of Breath Liberation Society. She also describes herself as “probably the least chill meditation teacher you'll ever meet.”Together, they explore how breathwork can offer a more accessible entry point for overthinkers and busy brains. Instead of forcing stillness, breathwork gives the mind something active to focus on — what Chauna compares to “giving your brain an iPad” to occupy it — while the body does its own work.They also talk about how breathwork differs from traditional meditation, why it's particularly helpful for people with trauma histories, and how starting small (even just two breaths or two minutes) can be helpful.If mindfulness has ever felt like it wasn't made for your kind of mind, this episode is for you.Episode Highlights:Why breathwork succeeds where traditional meditation fails for many peopleThe difference between activating and calming breathwork techniquesHow to start a somatic practice when you're resistant to body-based workTrauma-informed approaches to breathwork and nervous system regulationThe power of "titration" - starting with just 2 minutes instead of diving inWhy consent and agency are crucial in breathwork practiceUnderstanding breathwork as "nervous system pushups" for stress resilienceKey Concepts Explored:Conscious connected breathing and three-part breath techniquesThe origins and cultural lineages of breathwork practicesHow breathwork allows nonverbal processing of emotions and traumaThe importance of finding trauma-informed, skilled practitionersWhy patience becomes "your first form of body connection"Common Questions Answered:What exactly is breathwork and how is it different from meditation?How can I start if I'm resistant to body-based practices?Is breathwork safe for people with trauma history?What should I expect from my first breathwork experience?Notable Quotes: “Breathwork gives the brain something to do. It's just weird enough that it helps the body start to process what we've shelved or ignored.” — Chauna Bryant [00:04:00]“Whatever you're doing, try like a minute. Try two minutes. Give it two minutes and then get out. That's the way to start to build that body connection.” — Chauna Bryant [00:14:00]“For a lot of us with busy brains, patience is going to be our first form of body connection.” — Chauna Bryant [00:16:00]“Just let the experience exist without having to slap words on it.” — Chauna Bryant [00:31:00]“In breathwork, you get to choose as much or as little as you do—and whatever you choose, you'll be cheered on fiercely.” — Chauna Bryant [00:34:00]Chapters:[00:00:00] Introduction: Welcome to Thinkydoers and Meet Chauna Bryant[00:02:00] What is Breathwork?

In this thought-provoking episode, we dive into the internal struggles that emerge when we feel pulled toward paths that seem to contradict our established values or public image.I'm sharing my personal journey with artificial intelligence, from initial resistance to curious exploration and how this evolution challenged me to examine the "all-or-nothing" thinking that often limits our authentic expression.Through vulnerable reflection, I reveal how an influencer's anti-AI stance triggered deep self-doubt about my own path, despite feeling genuinely drawn to explore AI's potential for supporting small businesses and solopreneurs. This experience illuminates the uncomfortable intersection we face when evolving beyond how we've defined ourselves or how others perceive us.BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL DISCOVER:How "all-or-nothing" thinking often lurks beneath our resistance to personal evolution.Why being pulled in unexpected directions can create internal conflict with our self-image.The danger of blanket statements that strip away nuance and individual experience.How AI tools can help small business owners focus on their zone of genius without large budgets.The importance of accepting that two seemingly contradictory things can be true simultaneously.Why judging others' choices contradicts true commitment to authenticity.How to recognize when fear of judgment is preventing you from following your authentic path.This episode invites you to examine where black-and-white thinking might be limiting your perspective and blocking your evolution. By embracing nuance and honoring your unique journey, you can move forward with greater self-acceptance and clarity, even when that path seems to contradict previous versions of yourself.And while you're here, follow us on Instagram @creativelyowned for more daily inspiration on effortlessly attracting the most aligned clients without spending hours marketing your business or chasing clients.

Send us a text! (add your email to get a response)We all know those moments—when everything feels either perfect or disastrous, when someone is either completely trustworthy or utterly toxic. "All-or-nothing," "black-and-white," or dichotomous thinking, shapes our relationships, political views, and self-perception in profound ways. But where does this all-or-nothing approach come from, and why is it so hard to escape?In this episode, we dive deep into the surprising evolutionary purpose behind rigid thinking patterns. Far from simply being a cognitive flaw, black and white thinking often emerges as a survival mechanism for those who've experienced trauma or instability. The problem arises when we carry these protective patterns into everyday life, relationships, and social media interactions where complexity is essential.We explore how dichotomous thinking manifests differently across various conditions—from personality disorders where it permeates every interaction to PTSD where it might remain confined to specific triggers. We share personal examples, research findings, and practical strategies for recognizing when you've fallen into extreme thinking. Then, we outline the evidence-based strategies for breaking free of the extremes of dichotomous thinking.Whether you're dealing with a loved one who sees the world in absolutes or noticing this pattern in yourself, we understand why our brains crave certainty and how embracing the gray areas might be the key to deeper connections and better mental health. We offer both compassion for why we develop these patterns and concrete tools for finding your way back to nuance.Resources:Bonfá‐Araujo, B., Oshio, A., & Hauck‐Filho, N. (2022).

In this episode of the Help Me Understand podcast, JK reflects on the journey of the podcast over the past five years, celebrating milestones and discussing the concept of all or nothing thinking. He challenges listeners to rethink this mindset, suggesting that it may not be a binary choice but rather a range of options. JK shares his view on the importance of understanding the 'something else' that occurs when plans are not followed and encourages listeners to consider the mood required to execute their plans effectively.----Kids Talk Sports hoodies available HERE(available in both adult and kids sizes on website)----Have a question or topic you'd like JK to talk about in a future episode?

Ask  David With Special Guest Expert, Dr. Matthew May Daily Mood Log: Does it have to be done perfectly? Somatic Complaints: How does TEAM Help?  Passive Aggression: What distortions cause it? Roger, from Australia, asks: Do daily mood logs still work if you complete them ‘imperfectly'? Roger also asks: Based on your clinical experience, what causes a reduction or complete elimination of in symptoms for people who present with somatic complaints or chronic pain? TOZ asks: Does passive aggressive behavior result from All-or-Nothing Thinking? The answers below were written prior to the show, based on correspondence with those who asked the questions. The live answers on the show will be different in many cases.  1, Roger, from Australia, asks: Do daily mood logs still work if you complete them ‘imperfectly'? 2. Roger also asks: Based on your clinical experience, what causes a reduction or complete elimination of symptoms for people who present with somatic complaints or chronic pain? Dear David, Sure, I would love to have my questions be on an Ask David! It would be okay for you to use my real name and my location as being in Australia for the podcast and show notes. I've reworded the questions so that they get across what I was actually trying to ask in my previous email. You might now have a slightly different response based on the new questions. I have to apologise as my wording in my previous email was confusing, even for me. Here's a shorter version of the first question: “Dear David, I've got a question about doing daily mood logs as part of my psychotherapy homework. I tend to start a lot of new daily mood logs where I write my negative emotions and thoughts, as well as do positive reframing, but then get stuck when it comes to doing methods for challenging my negative thoughts, as I get caught up on trying to do the exercise perfectly. I get worried that I won't see as much benefit from the exercise if I don't do the steps perfectly or in order. Did you see improvements in patients who filled out their daily mood logs imperfectly? Perhaps they may have skipped steps or maybe they couldn't crush their negative thoughts completely, but continued to move on to working with new thoughts and seeing if they could crush those.” An even shorter version of the question would be: “Do daily mood logs still work if you complete them ‘imperfectly'?” A shorter version of the question about somatic complaints and pain is: “I've also got a question on treating somatic symptoms and chronic pain. Some clinicians have seen people improve by doing journalling or expressive writing about life stressors such as past stressors, current stressors, and self-limiting behaviours or beliefs. Other activities which seem to be useful include writing unsent letters to people who've hurt you, or doing behavioural changes for self-limiting beliefs like learning how to designate free time for yourself if you have a tendency to take on too much or feel guilty about spending time relaxing and not doing work. I was wondering what you've seen in your clinical experience and what you've seen patients do which helps them reduce or eliminate their somatic symptoms and chronic pain?" An even shorter version of that question would be: “Based on your clinical experience, what causes a reduction or complete elimination of in symptoms for people who present with somatic complaints or chronic pain?" Regards, Roger He David's reply Thanks, these short versions are a big improvement. Here are the quick answers: The critical thing is to come up with one or more positive thoughts that are 100% true, and that reduce your belief in the negative thought. If you send a specific example, it would help. There are several rules about getting workable negative thoughts as well. Perfection is never possible in the universe of daily mood logs, but excellence certainly is. A change in belief in neg thoughts is the goal. In my experience, somatic complaints, such as undiagnosed pain, dizziness, fatigue, and more, are often created or magnified by (or the expression of) negative emotions, as well as hidden emotions / problems. The average reduction of pain, for example, will be 50% if there is a dramatic reduction in negative feelings, or if the patient identifies and tackles some unexpressed problem, like anger, or unexpressed grief, or loneliness when the kids go off to college, and so forth. An average of 50% means that some people will experience a complete elimination of the negative symptoms, like pain. Some will experience no improvement. And some will experience some improvement. With regard to how or why this works, I don't really know, and don't think that anyone knows. But it seems like negative feelings, like depression, anxiety, anger and so forth have a magnifying effect on negative feelings. On the podcast, I can give a personal example of when I was in the Stanford emergency room, screaming in pain from a broken jaw. I can also give an example of what happens to my low back pain when I am in an especially good mood and I am out jogging. Best, David 3. TOZ asks: Does passive aggressive behavior result from All-or-Nothing Thinking? Hi David, I thought my therapist will tell me once he gets to know me that I'm passive aggressive and therefore I do things particularly anxiety disease as all or nothing black or white.  I was wondering for you not to answer my case but in general does passive aggressive attitudes or approaches result from all or nothing thinking? Thanks, Toz David's reply. Thanks, Toz. Great question! To find out, you would have to do what I have recommended for nearly 50 years. Write down your negative thought on a piece of paper (can you do that?) and identify the distortions in it, using my lit of ten cognitive distortions. Let me know if you've done this. Most people refuse to do it! Warmly, david Toz replies: So I did your exercise. My thoughts were: I'm crashing.  Help I'm scared.  I'm going to die.  Help me laud.  Help me laud. Distortions:  predicting the future.  Magnification How is that? I looked up. Saw that was fine. Felt better. Then I checked my pulse.  Not too fast so okay. Toz. David's reply to Toz, That, Toz, is totally cool! Way to go! Could also add: Emotional Reasoning. You identified two super important distortions that are always present in fear, paranoia and anxiety. Cool, cool, cool! David's comment: This is why I ask for specific examples when people ask general questions. As you can see, Toz asked about passive aggression, but his specific example turned out to be all about something entirely different: anxiety and panic. He did a great job of testing his negative thoughts with the Experimental Technique. Warmly, Rhonda, Matt,  and David
