Episode description
In this episode of the TELOS Podcast, John, TELOS’ Head of Nutrition and Lifestyle, explores Burns’ Cognitive Distortions—the 10 mental traps that shape our thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. Drawing from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), we break down how these distortions impact daily life and how Dr. Russ Harris’ Struggle Switch can help us manage our emotions more effectively.
While John isn’t a psychologist, understanding his own mind has been a huge part of his journey, and he shares practical strategies to challenge negative thoughts and improve mental resilience.
