ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Hosted by Amanda Smith, MA, MSW, LCSW and Amanda Mitchell, DNP, APRN, PMHNP-BC
Your thoughts feel true—but what if they’re not?
In Spring Cleaning Pt. 3 of our Mental Health series, we’re breaking down cognitive distortions - the automatic thinking patterns that can fuel anxiety, overthinking, and self-doubt.
As mental health providers, we see these patterns all the time and, chances are, you’re experiencing them too without even realizing it. From mind reading to catastrophizing, we explain how these thoughts show up in real life and why your brain is so quick to believe them.
This episode will help you:
- Identify common cognitive distortions
- Understand why your brain jumps to worst-case scenarios
- Start separating thoughts from facts
We also address overthinking, anxiety spirals, and how to tell if a thought is actually true.
✨ Not every thought deserves your trust—and this episode will show you why.
