Episode notes
Mindfulness As The Context For CBT
- Mindfulness enriches cognitive and behavioral work by providing a context of present awareness.
- Seth reframes CBT as mindfulness-centered, where thinking and acting occur within mindful connection to self.
Spot And Test Your Internal Stories
- Notice the stories you tell yourself and question them instead of assuming they're reality.
- Trace repeated negative thoughts back to possible core beliefs and test alternative explanations.
Accept Reality, Then Act
- Balance acceptance with change: accept what is true while using it to decide action.
- If negative feedback is accurate, use it as useful information to change behavior rather than deny it.
