CXT 39: Adaptive vs. Maladaptive Patterns of Thinking

The Dr. Shyamala Show

In today’s episode, we talk about how negative thinking happens to all of us...⠀

it is a normative part of the human experience.

Not only is it normal, it's adaptive. We are predisposed for negative thinking for our survival as protective strategies:

• Considering consequences
• Possible negative outcomes
• Prepare for danger

The goal is NOT to avoid negative thinking all together, the goal is to discern between adaptive and maladaptive patterns of thinking. While adaptive thinking is supportive to our functioning, maladaptive thinking blocks our functioning.

Join us for an insightful and intimate conversation about how to notice the quality of your thoughts, discern between maladaptive and adaptive patterns and continuously adopt more adaptive ways of thinking to increase your freedom and impact towards your mission.
