The Kitty Chronicles: Part 5 - "Rational and Irrational Thoughts" - Trigger warning: suicidality.

The Kitty Chronicles: Part 5 - "Rational and Irrational Thoughts" - Trigger warning: suicidality. In the final episode of  our five-part series, we delve into those unwelcome thoughts that tell us hurtful nonsense, like that we're "unlovable, worthless, or helpless". We address perfectionism, all-or-nothing thinking and telltale words that point to irrational thoughts, such as "never, always, and everybody". Learn how to recognize when it's the gambling talking and techniques to shut 'em down. Pro tip: it takes intention and effort! Most importantly, we talk about thoughts of suicide, something that so many people with disordered gambling experience and that we're both glad we're still here to share our relief and hope with you. If you or someone you know is having thoughts of suicide, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline:  1-800-273-8255. Kitty Martz, CGRM, CGAC II is a woman in long term gambling recovery and the Executive Director of Voices of Problem Gambling Recovery in Oregon. You can contact her at www.VPGR.net.
