What Else Could This Mean? — Cognitive Reframing and Your Greatest Problem

What's the single greatest problem in your life right now? Jonathan Doyle on cognitive reframing — the psychological tool so simple most people dismiss it. Drawing on cognitive appraisal theory, the human drive for meaning-making (anthropos: the one who looked up), and the story of Freud telling a friend who'd just lost his job, "Excellent — now we can begin," this episode makes one demanding claim: your emotions arise from your interpretation of events, and if you change the appraisal, you can change the emotion. Ending with the question that puts you back in the driver's seat: what else could this mean?"When you're going through something really difficult — on the other side of it, who are you going to become?" — Subscribe to The Daily Podcast with Jonathan Doyle for a new episode every day.
