In the last show with Cortney, Chris breaks down our core beliefs and how they affect us. He first covers the assumptions we carry with us and how this is the basis for Cognitive Behavior Therapy. They talk about what are some examples of how our assumptions can decide how we react to situations and then how we can learn to identify them. Once we learn to see them, now we can work to move in a different direction for improvement.
Tune in to see how we Challenge the Assumptions We Live By Through a Therapist’s Eyes.
