Thinking Traps
In this video, we’re discussing thinking traps – those unhelpful negative thinking habits that can really impact how we’re feeling.
In CBT we often look at the links between our thoughts, emotions, physical sensations and behaviours. In this video we look at how the thoughts we experience can have a powerful impact on us and how to be more aware of unhelpful negative thought when they crop up.

Challenging Unhelpful Thinking
In this video, we talk to you about a way to improve your mood by challenging unhelpful thinking. Challenging unhelpful thinking is an evidence-based approach to improving low mood or anxiety. It works by identifying negative or unhelpful thoughts and gathering evidence as to the accuracy of the thought. This evidence then helps us to develop a more realistic and helpful thought.
