Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, wI explore the gap between insight and behavioral change.
Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Behavioral Activation, and Exposure-based models, I break down why understanding your patterns is not enough and why behavior is the mechanism that actually rewires them.
I discuss:
- how avoidance and reassurance reinforce anxiety
- why change often feels worse before it feels better
- and how small behavioral shifts create long-term change
If you feel stuck despite doing the “work,” this episode will help you identify where change actually needs to happen.
