Episode notes
Why does your mind jump to conclusions? Why do certain thoughts feel so convincing, even when they cause distress? In this episode, Dr. Yadegarfard takes a deep, science-based look at cognitive biases — the mental shortcuts your brain uses to make sense of the world.
You’ll learn what cognitive biases are, why every human brain has them, how they influence emotions, relationships, and behaviour, and why they are not a sign of weakness or failure. Most importantly, you’ll learn how therapy helps you recognise and work with these patterns in a way that builds flexibility rather than self-criticism.
This episode is designed to help you understand your thinking with curiosity and compassion — and to give you practical ways to pause, reflect, and respond more intentionally in everyday life.
