Why Your Mind Lies to You (And How to Talk Back)Book: Feeling Good by Dr. David Burns
Has your mind ever convinced you that a small mistake was a total disaster? Or that one bad day meant your entire life was falling apart?
In this episode of the BooxBox Podcast, we deconstruct the "architecture of the fog"—the cognitive distortions that trap us in cycles of guilt, anxiety, and low self-esteem. Based on the groundbreaking work of Dr. David Burns in his bestseller, Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy, we explore why our emotions aren’t always a reflection of reality, but rather a reflection of our internal "thought-bridge."
We break down the high-level concepts of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into a cinematic narrative you can use today.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
The 3:00 AM Inner Critic: Why our thoughts feel like facts when they are often just distorted habits.
The "All-or-Nothing" Trap: How to stop seeing life in black and white and embrace the beauty of the gray area.
The Tyranny of "Shoulds": Why we use guilt as a whip and how to trade it for true motivation.
The Dare to be Average: How letting go of perfectionism actually unlocks your peak performance.
The Triple Column Technique: A practical tool to act as your own defense attorney and win back your mental peace.
Whether you’re struggling with a heavy mood or simply want to sharpen your emotional intelligence, this journey into the mind offers a map toward clarity, calm, and genuine hope.
