It’s all your fault

It's All Your Fault: Taking Responsibility for Your Thoughts

Something is holding you back. Maybe it's a feeling of emptiness, a sense of unease, or a fear of failure. You've convinced yourself that nothing is there, that, “It gets no better", maybe a little better, but not extraordinarily better. You're "Cool with cool, and Ok with fine." But the truth is, you are responsible for your own thoughts and feelings. And if you continue to let unhelpful coping skills go unchecked, you will continue to live your life unfulfilled.

I operate under the belief that there is more out there for you, and you deserve every last bit of it. There are skills that you can acquire, habits that you can unlearn, and trauma that can be processed and healed. With practice, you can become the person you were destined to be.

But if you decide not to address your issues...

"It's all your fault."

Now, I don't mean to invoke guilt or shame about where you are in your life, or how you got here. Or minimize your struggles and resiliency for making it through. But along your journey, you may have picked up some unhelpful coping skills that if they continue to go unchecked, will hold you back from reaching your full potential.

That's where cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) comes in. CBT recognizes the link between our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. By challenging our negative thoughts and replacing them with positive ones, we can improve our mental health and overall well-being. It's not easy, but it's worth it.

CBT is a therapeutic approach that helps people take responsibility for their thoughts and behaviors. By identifying negative patterns and working to replace them with positive ones, individuals can improve their mood, reduce anxiety, and increase their overall sense of well-being.

In CBT, clients work with a therapist to identify negative thoughts and beliefs that are holding them back. They then learn how to challenge these thoughts and replace them with more positive and helpful ones. Through this process, individuals learn how to take control of their thoughts and emotions, and make positive changes in their lives.

If you're struggling with negative thoughts and unhelpful coping skills, it's important to seek support from a therapist or loved one. Practice self-compassion and give yourself time to heal.

Don't let your past or your fears hold you back any longer. It's time to take control and make a change. The power is in your hands.
