I actually created a "thought tracker" based on my CBT therapy sessions where any time I act out, I stop to answer these questions, "I feel____ because I thought of/that _____(due to a previous event) so I reacted by ______. The situation was _____ (1=insignificant, 5=catastrophic). I reacted like it was ______(1=insignificant, 5=catastrophic). More than likely I reacted because ________(common stressor causing irrational behavior - Hungry,Angry,Lonely,Tired). The truth in rationale is ________. The flaws in my reasoning are ___________. A logical thought would be ___________.

CBT helped me get free of drugs. Even now, with 15 years clean, I still fall back on coping skills I learned through CBT. It's become my norm. I think it's great for everyone considering the amounts of stress most people are under right now.

YOU CAN change your thinking at any age. My father has become such a gentle listener as he gets older when he used to talk at you and was very cold. He does a lot of reading and works on himself every day and his role in my life has made it so much better and I feel like I gained a new best friend. It is NEVER too late to work on yourself. ❤ NEVER!, but that also mean, if you don't workon yourself you can also get WORSE!

If people are treated with emotional validation, care, empathy, and respect by their parents, they don't go and develop a delusional belief that they are worthless and the world is a dangerous place full of contemptible perpetrators of abuse. Beliefs come from experience.

I've decided to teach myself CBT - as the therapists I've had so far have not been able to help me fully and I've been depressed for almost half my life now. Unfortunately there's such a long wait time to get new therapists, and you only get a certain number of sessions. I'm sick and done with waiting for someone to support myself, if no-one is going to help me - I'm going to do it myself

as a psychology student I think I just found my my new favorite YT channel. Dr. Judy is awesome!

Kyle is the best host ever; so vulnerable, kind and comprehensive!

Hello I was 12 years old so 1992, I was working with a man who taught a handful of teenagers from my community about CBT. I come from a Canada where we dealt with all kinds of abuse, since being born. The man worked with us and taught us how to use CBT to heal and help us in general. I'm 41 now and I completely forgot about this training, but I've been using it to live my life, all my life. I couldn't be depressed or negative towards myself for very long because I unknowingly had this training and it is what saved me. I'm relearning it so that I can help others because its so basic and in the place where I come from this can and will help others in their life. I hold myself accountable for my thoughts, feelings and actions because of this training, its really been life saving. I can't remember how long the training was like if it was months or years, but it was for a long period of time. I'm excited to learn more and learn how to use it to help others, if possible.

If someone had the core belief 'I'm unworthy/ I'm not enough" since they were a child it may manifest in not trying in school, not feeling worthy of teachers time or attention and falling through the cracks.

This is gonna make it so much easier to help myself cope with my mental health since I can't have a counselor at the moment.

the running away part is so true, when feeling found out by therapists lol. I experienced this recently and almost stopped going but pushed through the feeling and its been worth it.

From a psychology student, THANK YOU 🙏❤️

Kyle does a great job, wonderful interviewer

Kindly do make a video on overthinkers as they also make life hard for others who are around

Running helps your mind. Not fixes, but helps. Every little bit forward helps. Oh, and it can improve physical health too.

Med Cirlce, I am so thankful for you guys! This is such a great resource for me on a personal and professional level! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Your work is not unnoticed! 😊

I have had CBT , however never with the Core belief aspect. This makes so much sense

my best friend got diagnosed with major depression weeks ago, and i'm putting in my best effort to help her out. thank you kyle and dr judy, this video has helped a LOT.

This is so helpful! I am going to make a checklist in my journal so that when something is going on that I start ruminating about so that I can go through this process. Thank you so much for this video!
