    Cognitive Reframing (And One Life Hack To Reduce Suffering!) What is cognitive reframing and how can it help? How much of your pain is caused by how you think? This video shares a powerful “life hack.” This video will help you understand cognitive reframing and how it is used in CBT, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. We will identify what cognitive distortions are and how they can be changed with cognitive restructuring. This video will also explain a powerful Buddhist concept, the second arrow of suffering. The second arrow Buddhism is a helpful concept combined with cognitive behavioral therapy for anxiety or cognitive behavioral therapy for depression.
    The cognitive reframing examples and cognitive restructuring exercises will help you understand yourself better, and provide a pathway to feeling better. What is the definition of cognitive reframing and the definition of cognitive restructuring? Cognitive restructuring is the active use by a therapist and client of cognitive restructuring techniques, that can change the lens through which the client sees the world. It is a subset of cognitive reframing - cognitive reframing happens either naturally or intentionally. CBT for anxiety is effective and cognitive restructuring techniques can help you feel better!

    Optional pain and second arrow of suffering. My narcissistic biological mother left me when I was only 12 years old. She never loved me. My father's love was too weak to fill up that deep void in me. Both my parents have gifted me one life with many inner deaths that I still experience very often. I liked to study but my disturbed family life and worst kind of schooling and upbringing didn't allow me to achieve success in my life although I never wished to waste myself but my life is a waste now and I'm still sane and alive only because of my spiritual interests in life. Otherwise I would have been in an asylum by now. Thank you.

    Woah! This video came at the perfect time. This weekend I spent a few days in the house where I grew up. My parents are on vacation and this is the first time I’ve slept there in 10 years. While I was there I got to see some of those core beliefs that were created as early as at 5 years old. The main one being that I’m not safe and the world is harsh, unforgiving, and dangerous. I saw how that belief has been coloring my memories of my childhood AND what I’m creating in my future. I left able to appreciate all of the amazing things my parents provided that I had been blocking out or dismissing and able to lift that constraint (second arrow) from my future.

    I recently started to watch her videos, and they have helped me so much. After years of therapists and battling with my mental disorder cognitive therapy is the only thing that works for me.

    Well, this can change how I deal with and sort out my emotions... I just need to ask myself: "Is this pain you're feeling optional? Do you actually need to feel this level of pain on top of the unavoidable one? Do you think you can let this one go or should we work through it? Do you think you deserve the relief of letting go of this optional suffering?" ... I think it will be very helpful as it starts a conscious conversation with the self and reminds me that I DO have options; that I don't have to undergo some kinds of pain if I can. Thank you🙏💕

    This was so helpful. I really related to the 'second arrow of pain' philosophy. I didn't realise how much optional pain I cause myself until I heard this. It makes sense. Thank you

    I am absolutely amazing! Whenever I hurt myself I immediately apologize! The other day I fell because I installed a slippery tile in the den, so if I am washing the porch and come inside barefoot I will fall automatically! The first time I was about to cry but since I live alone what’s the point of crying without an audience. I said “I’m not going to cry! I am not a poor thing, I am strong!” Now I know better, and purchased a pair of

    Great talk Barbara. It really has made me be aware of looking for times when I can lesson self imposed avoidable suffering. 🙏🏻

    I love cognitive reframing and all the different techniques your channel guides subscribers through. As someone that is a chronic illness/pain sufferer, using mindful and thought reframing has been the biggest game-changer in my journey.

    Your videos are great! Thank you for sharing. Al Anon 12 steps is also helping reframe my first thoughts of shame and judgement. Your delivery is so clear and concise. 😊

    Loved the concept that you introduced to us “the optional pain“. I realized this is what I’ve been doing all through my life and adding to my stress by blaming myself or blaming others for any unavoidable pain. Will reflect now! Thanks for the thought provoking video
