Episode notes
Have you ever struggled to remember a single positive thing that happened on a bad day? Dr. Yadegarfard dives into one of the most powerful cognitive traps: Memory Bias. This bias causes your brain to selectively remember negative events, fueling anxiety and depression, and even causing you to forget the valuable insights and homework from your therapy sessions. Learn how to actively retrain your brain to create a balanced, evidence-based view of your life.
You'll learn:
- What a cognitive bias and memory bias are.
- How your brain's "forgetting" leads to black-and-white thinking and negative self-talk.
- Why you sometimes forget what you learn in therapy sessions.
- Practical tools to actively train your memory to notice and record the positive (e.g., creating an evidence file).
