Reality Checking Our Stories: How to Identify Unhelpful Thoughts and Shift to Healthier Patterns of Thinking


Listen Later

Have you ever found yourself imagining the worst case scenario? Have you jumped to conclusions about what someone thinks of your choices before asking them? These common thoughts, known as cognitive distortions, can contribute to the stories we make up about what's happening in our lives. In this episode we'll explore how you can identify unhelpful thoughts and shift to healthier patterns of thinking. We'll also examine the research on Theory of Mind and find ways to support children through this important developmental process.

You can learn more about unhelpful thinking patterns in this Harvard Health article and find more information on the function of emotions in Susan David's Emotional Agility website.
