Believe it or not, your mind is not really all that good at multitasking. It can actually give you a burst of energy.
Ever wondered how Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can help with depression? In this episode of the 'Counselor Toolbox Podcast with DocSnipes', Dr. Dawn-Elise Snipes breaks down the third week of a 14-week CBT program designed to combat depression. She kicks things off by reviewing the baseline data collected from previous weeks, focusing on mood and mindfulness activities. This isn't just about tracking feelings—it's about understanding patterns and making informed changes. Dr.
Snipes dives into behavior modification, emphasizing the importance of setting clear time parameters for tasks to help gauge progress effectively. She introduces the idea of 'unhooking'—a technique to detach from distressing thoughts and redirect focus to more positive activities. Whether it's gardening, running, or playing with a pet, finding joy in small activities can make a big difference. The episode also highlights the critical role of sleep and circadian rhythms in mental health. Dr.
Snipes offers practical tips for improving sleep hygiene, such as minimizing blue light exposure and using weighted blankets to promote relaxation and hormone release. Meditation also makes an appearance, with Dr. Snipes encouraging listeners to start with just two minutes a day to reap its benefits. Finally, she touches on how these practices can enhance relationships, urging listeners to integrate these tools into their daily lives for a holistic approach to mental well-being.
