Unpacking Assumptions: A Therapist's Guide to Cognitive Change

Assumptions are like a reflex, and when you have a reflex, that's driving how you see things.
Ever wondered how your core beliefs shape your everyday life? In this episode of 'Through a Therapist's Eyes', Chris Gazdik teams up with Cortney to explore the hidden assumptions that guide our thoughts, emotions, and actions. Chris kicks things off by explaining how these assumptions form the backbone of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). Together, they dive into real-life examples, showing how our assumptions can dictate our reactions to various situations.
Once you recognize these hidden beliefs, you can start to shift them and make meaningful changes in your life. Chris also touches on the role of biology in our emotional responses, the concept of radical acceptance, and the power of setting simple, achievable goals. Whether you're dealing with conflicts, bullies, or just trying to understand yourself better, this episode offers practical advice and insights. Tune in for a therapist's take on challenging the assumptions we live by.
