In this episode, Shira and her guest Maddy Ellberger discuss how being aware of one's thoughts and feelings can help one choose where to focus and make more mindful decisions. Maddy as a DBT/CBT therapist and adjunct professor at Columbia University shares examples of using distress tolerance skills to put time and distance between oneself and triggering thoughts or stimuli and discusses the importance of understanding one's motivations behind behaviors, whether it's eating or sending an impulsive text message, and doing so in a way that is most in line with one's goals. By being intentional and mindful, individuals can make choices that lead to greater satisfaction and fulfillment. Maddy and Shira also talk about microdosing and the untapped potential of mushrooms as a way to shift perspectives and even be transformative in the healing process. We want to know your thoughts on an all this and more! What modalities have you used that you find helpful? We’d also love to know your thoughts on psilocybin!
