The Joy Prescription Podcast - Brain ANTs - Overcoming Cognitive Distortions - Part 2

Join Dr. Libert & Brooke Jack on The Joy Prescription Podcast - A weekly podcast about transforming your health with lifestyle medicine and biblical wisdom.

In this episode we cover more common Brain ANTs that can pull us into the dark pit of depression and despair:

1. Magnification and Minimization—Blowing things way out of proportion, or downplaying their importance.
2. Emotional Reasoning—This brain ANT happens when we give our feelings too much credit without considering the facts and the bigger picture.
3. Labeling–Calling yourself or others negative names like “lazy” or “a loser.”
4. Overt and Hidden Should Statements—As in, “I SHOULDN’T have screwed up like that,” or “I SHOULD be better than I am.”
5. Blame—Self-Blame leads to despair and depression and blaming others breeds anger and strife.
