In this episode of the CBT Coaching Podcast, Dr. Barry Gregory Ed.D. explores strategies for reducing negative thinking using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques. He explains that automatic negative thoughts are often unhelpful mental shortcuts, shaped by past experiences and emotions. Key tools discussed include noticing these thoughts without judgment, questioning their accuracy, and evaluating their helpfulness. Dr. Gregory introduces thought-challenging questions, like asking for evidence and considering alternative perspectives, to shift negative thinking. Listeners are encouraged to use thought records for journaling and restructuring negative thoughts into balanced, realistic ones, helping cultivate a more supportive mindset. Dr. Barry M.
