Ep. 54: Understanding Negative Thought Patterns

We all have negative thoughts at times and often can be our own worst critics. 

And if you have a tendency to be hard on yourself, the automatic thoughts you have can have a big impact on your emotions and the way you experience and interpret the world around you. 

It’s normal to feel sadness, anger, worry and loneliness at times. But getting stuck in negative thought patterns can trigger heightened feelings of anxiety, fear, self-pity, and insecurity.  

The good news is that you can learn to identify and challenge automatic negative thoughts, which can relieve stress, self-doubt and let you feel significantly more confident and positive. 

Today, my guest Shelby John is here to talk about understanding our negative thought patterns. 

Shelby is a mom, wife, and entrepreneur. She's been sober since July 2002 and her own recovery journey led her to become a social worker, trained in trauma therapy, coaching techniques and other clinical skills. As a therapist, Shelby helps women heal their past trauma, using EMDR. therapy. Online, she gets to guide them into building the confidence they need to love their lives beyond recovery.
