Transforming 'Until': Jeffrey Brandler's Guide to Real Change
Wow, until really hit the brakes on progress and change. It's a goal-oriented action to put some pretty big conditions on those changes.
Ever felt like you're stuck in a loop of setting goals but never quite reaching them? In this eye-opening episode of 'Brandler Bits', therapist Jeffrey M. Brandler tackles the sneaky little word that might be holding you back: 'until'. With over 38 years of experience in marriage and family therapy, addiction recovery, and clinical hypnotherapy, Jeffrey knows a thing or two about making meaningful changes.
He explains how 'until' often sets us up for failure by creating conditions that make our goals feel unreachable. For instance, saying 'I'll quit drinking until Christmas' can leave you wondering what happens after the holiday. Instead, Jeffrey suggests breaking down your goals into smaller, more manageable steps. Think 'I'll quit drinking for this week' rather than setting a distant deadline. This approach not only makes your goals more achievable but also keeps you accountable and motivated.
If you're tired of feeling stuck and want to learn how to set yourself up for success, this episode is a must-listen. Jeffrey's practical advice and empathetic style will leave you feeling empowered to make lasting changes in your life.
