Transforming Self-Talk: Cognitive Therapy Tips for a Stronger Recovery
“Self talk is powerful. That inner dialogue can often push us into substance and behavioural addictions that are harmful.”
Ever catch yourself in a negative thought spiral? Lance and Tanya from the 'Red Roof Recovery Show' know just how powerful self-talk can be. In this episode, they dive into how our inner dialogue can either hinder or help our recovery journey. They share practical tips from cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) to turn that inner critic into a supportive coach.
The hosts introduce the 'Catch It, Check It, Change It' method, a simple yet effective way to challenge automatic negative thoughts. It's like having a mental toolkit to intercept those sabotaging thoughts before they take over. Lance and Tanya also discuss the importance of positive language and how writing and journaling can be therapeutic tools. They emphasize that recovery isn't a solo journey—community and support play a crucial role.
This episode is packed with actionable advice and heartfelt discussions that resonate deeply with anyone striving for a healthier mindset. Whether you're battling addiction or supporting someone who is, you'll find valuable insights to help you on your path to recovery.
