The ABC of CBT - rewrite your self talk
Overthinking and self-sabotaging again? We’ve all been there. One upsetting event can spiral into big drama. You are not alone - and it’s not a personal flaw, or a fixed personality thing.
Stress can make our bad thinking habits run wild, but the good news is we can learn to tame them - to literally 'think different' with intent, with CBT.
The human brain is a beautiful, messy machine. It’s not perfectly rational - that’s why we have poetry, art, and love… and it's also why we have anger, jealousy, and conflict. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) teaches rational thinking skills so that you can step in and make your brain work for you, not against you.
Meet the life-changing ABC Technique of CBT. This fast, fun, engaging episode introduces the ‘ABC’ journaling model from the top-ranking workbook by Veronica Walsh - easy to understand, remember and apply…
You’ll learn how to:
- Notice and map your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours: “What am I thinking?” and “How is this making me feel and behave?”
- Identify exaggerated or unhelpful thinking patterns
- Dispute and reframe thoughts and beliefs to create healthier emotional and behavioral outcomes
Transform your self-talk. By practicing the ABC model, you can step back from automatic reactions, regain perspective, and make more emotionally intelligent choices.
Small changes in thinking habits can lead to big changes in how you feel, think, and behave. Dive in!
