In this episode Nicole sits down with Judith Belmont — retired psychotherapist, speaker, and author — to explore the power of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in transforming mental health. Judith unpacks how identifying and reframing negative thought patterns can lead to healthier self-talk and emotional well-being.
Together, they discuss the impact of self-compassion, childhood conditioning, and societal expectations on our internal narratives. Judith shares actionable CBT tools, highlights the importance of a growth mindset, and explains why a certain level of stress is essential for personal growth. They also touch on gender differences in seeking therapy and mental health support.
Whether you're curious about CBT, struggling with negative self-talk, or looking for practical mental health strategies, this episode is full of insight and empowerment.
