Reframing the Stories We Tell Ourselves with Karen Bagley, Ph.D.
Tuesday Dec 05, 2023
Tuesday Dec 05, 2023
“...the stories that we tell ourselves can…impact how we perform, how we act, how we walk through the world.”
Have you ever felt the weight of negative self-talk interfering with your professional or personal life? In this episode, we're joined by clinical psychologist Karen Bagley, who discusses the importance of figuring out whether the stories we construct in our minds accurately mirror our reality. Through specific examples, Karen sheds light on how these narratives can sometimes be far from the truth, and she emphasizes the potential negative impact they may have. Karen also equips us with a powerful framework to navigate and reframe when we find ourselves trapped in a pattern of negative self-talk. During the discussion she also touches on how to manage learners who find themselves stuck and gives advice on how to use the framework to guide them out of that mindset. Tune in to this episode for a comprehensive roadmap that promises a deeper understanding, transformation, and mastery of how we make sense of ourselves and the world around us.
