Ultimately, in the care of a counselor trained in cognitive therapy and addiction, you will learn that your negative thoughts are the actual cause of your self-defeating emotions.
Ever felt like your thoughts are dragging you down while trying to support a loved one battling addiction? In this episode of 'Busting Addiction and Its Myths', the focus is on caregivers and how their own thinking patterns can lead to depression. Hosted by SafeHouse Rehab Thailand, the discussion brings to light the research of Dr. David Burns, who found that our feelings are more influenced by our thoughts than our circumstances.
This means that caregivers might be unwittingly deepening their own struggles through 'illogical pessimistic attitudes'. The episode unpacks common cognitive distortions like all-or-nothing thinking, selective abstraction, and mind-reading. These patterns can make life feel even more challenging than it already is. By recognizing these distortions, caregivers can start to shift towards a more realistic and positive outlook. The hosts emphasize the importance of finding a cognitive therapist who also specializes in addiction to guide this change.
This episode isn't just about identifying problems; it's about offering practical solutions. It highlights the benefits of modern cognitive therapy approaches that can help break the cycle of negative thinking. For anyone feeling overwhelmed by the dual pressures of caregiving and personal mental health, this episode offers a lifeline of hope and practical advice.
