On this episode of the Everyday Warrior Podcast, we have Dr. Luana Marques, a renowned expert in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) - a therapy that focuses on understanding how our thoughts affect our emotions and behaviors. She believes we can better manage stress and anxiety by changing our internal narrative and behavior. CBT encourages people to pause and evaluate their thoughts, challenging negative or self-defeating ideas. By changing your inner dialogue, you can reduce anxiety and avoid becoming paralyzed by stress. Dr. Luana Marques emphasizes the importance of mental strength, which involves training our brains to function differently in moments of stress and anxiety.
