Adopted Daily Episode 10: Cultivate an Upward Feedback Loop and Manage the Pitfalls of Cognitive Distortions!

In this episode, I discuss the fundamentals of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the feedback loop that involved Core Beliefs, Feelings, Actions, and outcomes. I also discuss how cognitive distortions can impact this feedback loop. This episode also includes some concepts and strategies for countering negative thoughts such as Rational Counterstatements and Positive Affirmations.  Here is a link to the cognitive distortion list.
