On this special edition of the podcast we are shining the spotlight on Negative Thinking. Dr. Cloud shares his thoughts and insights on how to break negative thinking patterns and end the negative self talk and self criticism that we all fall prey to.

Jennifer is having difficulty letting go of negative thought patterns. How can she let go of regrets about her past that battle her positive feelings about herself?

Hannah is also trying to move on from her past mistakes. When self criticisms disguise themselves in the form of a question, like "Why are you so stupid," we have difficulty getting to the real question that can help us resolve the real issue. It's often fear that keeps us from breaking our negative thinking patterns.

David has become aware of his defensiveness and wants to work on it. How can he rewire himself to receive love in order to break the negative thinking patterns and self criticism?
