Cognitive Behavioral Therapy -...

Vivian Westlake

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely recognized and effective approach to mental health treatment that focuses on the powerful connection between our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. The premise behind CBT is simple: our thoughts shape how we feel, and how we feel influences how we behave. In turn, our behaviors can either reinforce or challenge our thought patterns. By learning to identify, challenge, and reframe negative or distorted thoughts, CBT offers a roadmap to breaking unhealthy cycles and fostering positive change.
The key to lasting improvement in mental health often lies in addressing the underlying thought patterns that influence our emotional states. Our minds can become entrenched in negative thinking habits, which can lead to persistent feelings of sadness, anxiety, or stress. These patterns can often seem automatic or out of our control, but through CBT, we gain the tools to not only understand but actively change how we think.
The first step in this process is understanding the role of thought patterns in mental health. We all experience a wide range of thoughts throughout the day, some positive and others negative. While we may not always be able to control what thoughts arise, we can gain control over how we respond to them. Negative thoughts such as self-doubt, catastrophizing, and overgeneralizing can trigger emotional distress, which in turn influences our behaviors. If left unaddressed, these cycles can become entrenched, affecting our overall well-being and quality of life.

Aftershock - How Past Events...

Geri-Lynn Utter

You may be at a point in your life where you realize that you have been edgy, a bit depressed, feeling unsettled. Yet everything in your life seems to be okay. You look for a cause, but you just can't put your finger on it. Perhaps you should examine your recent past—six months ago, a year ago—and ask yourself, "What did I go through that was stressful at the time, yet I was able to deal with by suppressing my stress until that situation was over?" 
 
 
 
"Aftershock" is a term coined by clinical psychologist Dr. Geri-Lynn Utter, who came to recognize this largely ignored scenario in many of her patients. As a subclinical level of the more familiar post-traumatic stress disorder, "aftershock" may underlie your present emotional stress, a delayed emotional response that affects many of us after common, yet big deal, life events such as miscarriage, moving to a new city, divorce, or, for some people, the Covid-19 pandemic that has rocked much of the world. 
 
 
 
The most urgent raison d'etre of Aftershock is to enlighten listeners to the very presence of this psychological trauma—what it is and what causes it, how to recognize the symptoms, and how to heal when life's stressors keep you in the center of the aftershock of a storm.
