155. Don’t Believe Everything You Think: Spotting and Reframing Cognitive Distortions


Listen Later

Ever catch yourself spiraling from “I ate a bagel” to “welp, day’s ruined”? Today Maria and Elizabeth unpack the sneaky thought patterns that mess with our wellness and show you how to call them out, reframe them, and move on with a lot more self-compassion.

In this episode, we are diving into why thoughts aren’t facts and how the thoughts–feelings–actions triangle drives our choices. Using real-life examples, from the intuitive eating “what-the-hell” effect to the classic “I said one wrong word; I’m a failure”, we break down common cognitive distortions and teach practical ways to reality-check and rewire them.

In this episode:

  • Why thoughts aren’t facts—and why it matters for your wellness journey
  • The “what-the-hell” effect in intuitive eating and how it relates to black-and-white thinking
  • How catastrophizing turns one mistake into a worst-case scenario
  • The tendency to discount positives and why accepting compliments feels hard
  • Labeling ourselves or others and how it limits growth
  • Practical strategies to reality-test your thoughts and build more flexible thinking
