Are you dealing with difficult emotions and find yourself getting emotional very easily or lashing out frequently? You may well be helped by CBT.

CBT or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a type of intervention that helps individuals learn how to identify and change unhelpful thoughts that have a not-so-helpful influence on emotions and behavior.

In this episode, Christie Kim from Bridges Mental Health and I discussed ways to reframe unhelpful thought patterns such as catastrophizing, fortune telling, mind-reading, and jumping to conclusions. We explore the pitfalls of making assumptions and offer tools to communicate with ourselves, our partners and others more effectively.
