Rewiring Habits: Insights from Bear Psychology Podcast

Understanding habits is the key to breaking or building them. We can set goals and be aware of the need for change, but how do you go about making that change? This episode discusses how habits are formed in the body and brain, and how to channel the power of habits for good.
Ever wondered why breaking a habit feels like climbing a mountain? Dr. Anna Baranowsky, a seasoned Clinical Psychologist, dives deep into the science of habits and addiction in this episode of the Bear Psychology Podcast. With her vast expertise, Dr. Baranowsky explains how habits are ingrained in our brains and bodies, making them tough to change. But don’t lose hope! She shares practical advice on harnessing the power of habits for positive change.
One key takeaway is the role of emotions. Rather than shaming yourself into change, Dr. Baranowsky encourages embracing and understanding your feelings. By sitting with your emotions, you can gain valuable insights into your behaviors. She emphasizes that once a habit is formed, it operates almost automatically. To break free, you need to consciously explore new behaviors and practice them repeatedly. The episode also touches on addiction, highlighting how it often masks deeper emotional pain.
Drawing from the work of experts like Charles Duhigg and Gary Zukav, Dr. Baranowsky provides strategies to replace harmful habits with healthier ones. She discusses the importance of mindfulness and self-awareness in overcoming addiction, offering listeners practical steps to start their journey towards recovery. Whether you’re struggling with smoking, overeating, or any other habit, this episode offers a wealth of knowledge and support. Dr.
Baranowsky’s compassionate approach and actionable advice make it a must-listen for anyone looking to make lasting changes in their life.
