Ep. 366 Do Something Different: CBT’s Pathway Out of Depression
This episode explores how Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can be a useful, hands-on approach for managing depression and anxiety.
Dr. David Jacobi explains how our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are closely linked—and how working on the things we can control, like changing negative thinking patterns or taking small actions, can shift how we feel over time.
Listeners will learn how to apply CBT in everyday life by identifying unhelpful thoughts, breaking cycles of avoidance, and doing simple tasks that can build momentum—like getting out of bed, taking a walk, or reconnecting with others.
The episode also offers insight into how to support loved ones without accidentally reinforcing withdrawal or inactivity. Whether you're dealing with mental health challenges yourself or helping someone else, this episode offers realistic strategies you can start using right away.
