Thank you for this. I’ve known about CBT and DBT for years. For myself, I arrived at my own solution a five months ago with quite a breakthrough over toxic shame spiraling. Whenever I get depressive, toxic shame, self talk, or feelings, I begin immediately scanning my mind by naming all of the feelings that I’m having. For example: I feel scared. I feel ashamed. I feel discarded. I feel resentment. I feel abandoned. It’s not only naming the feelings, but meditating and focusing on the feelings and forcing myself to welcome them to pass through me. It’s so hard to explain how this feels to someone else. I think bottom line is we MUST be willing and ready for it. I think it comes to a place where we get so tired of being, sick and tired, that we break down to the point that we are now ready to face it. It’s only taken me 59 years. That’s how it has been for me. Oddly enough, I feel so powerful over my shame bound history lately. When I get negative emotions, I tell myself “this exercise of working through them is going to be powerful”. I tell myself… “You can do it. You’re going to show yourself these emotions and you’re going to get through This horrible depression feeling you’re having right now”. The more I practice Being mindful to it and giving it the space it deserves, the more it goes away that More quickly. Now I look at it as a challenge in a good way to welcome focusing on these feelings because it’s making me feel powerful to command the way that I react to my Internal judgment and shame of emotions. I would say that it’s creating a turning point in my life. I also have written a script on my iPhone notes of encouragement when I’m feeling spiraling. I played the script back to myself when I need extra support. It really helps!

I am a long-distance undergrad student at Athabasca University working toward a BA in psych, and I can not express enough how helpful these videos are for me. As a mature student, who has not been in school since before 2001 (before the digital revolution), I miss having the opportunity to listen to lectures and take notes. This has been a great addition to my textbook by Gerald Corey. Thank you.

The assumption of "maladaptiveness" is so destructive. Why force the vast majority of people who need help BUT are not mal-anything to either be disqualified by their own "therapist" or alone with the problems a sh.tty society may be causing them?

Do you think CBT could be used to suppress neurotypical behavior and induce autistic behavior in s non-autistic individuals? I would offer to apply it to you!

Thoughts= i am a catalan speaker person that like all catalans are being treated as second class citizens because we cannot fully use our own language in our own country.
I believe spanish speaking people are cultural genociders because there are non native speakers elsewhere.
Mood= obviously angry, when i have to be forced to speak spanish in order to visit the doctor, university, daily life matters, despite living in my country Catalonia .
Behaviour= isolation, depression, feeling the world likes fascism and racism since everyone is happy with the spanish language narrative and their promotion of their dances and music .
