Cognitive distortions are the way we justify to ourselves something usually negative is true. We have to be aware of our proclivity for negativity in order to adjust our focus more toward the positive.

Collier dives deep into the concept of cognitive distortions—those pesky, unhelpful thoughts that can derail your recovery journey. Drawing from his own experiences, Collier breaks down how these distortions like confirmation bias and polarizing can cloud your judgment and keep you stuck in a cycle of negativity.

Whether you’re battling addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights into how changing your thinking can change your life. With a mix of empathy and actionable advice, Collier guides listeners through the process of identifying and combating these mental hurdles, making it clear that a happier, alcohol-free life is within reach.
