We can't live in an area of life that is either or, but we have been. We've killed the psychological structures that keep us alive.
Ever catch yourself stuck in a loop of negative thoughts? Shane Meyer dives into this all-too-common experience in 'Addiction Files', focusing on cognitive distortions and their grip on self-esteem and addiction. In this episode, Shane breaks down how our mental filters can twist reality, making us see only the bad and overlook the good. You'll hear about emotional reasoning, where feelings are mistaken for facts, and polarized thinking, which forces everything into black-and-white extremes.
Shane doesn’t just name these distortions; he offers practical ways to challenge them. From labeling the distortions to countering them with positive self-talk, these small steps can lead to big changes. This episode is a must-listen for anyone wrestling with negative self-talk and looking for tools to build a healthier self-image. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone else, Shane's insights provide a beacon of hope and practical advice.
