Your brain is lying to you!
Don’t believe everything you think. Cognitive Distortions
I just want to put this here as an excellent resource about questioning the things we tell ourselves. These are ideas that really changed my life. Luckily, I found this stuff in recovery.
I don’t always catch myself when I do these things, but the more I try, the better I get at it. My favorite word… NEUROPLASTICITY! At some point, I might go more into this myself, but check out Dr. Tracey Marks’ video on it. If you’re not watching all of her videos, you’re missing out!
Some other stuff to look up related to this: Dr. Albert Ellis’ ABC tool and Dr. Aaron Beck’s Cognitive Distortions, the old “JAMMED SLOP” in SMART Recovery.
