Great article Adam. Thank you. I have been ‘reframing’ some difficult challenges recently and your article made me realise I am been using CBT techniques. I wish you and the community a calming and healing time ahead.
Thank you! I increasingly think there's a lot that we do to manage all sorts of tough situations that can be seen as CBT — and it may be helpful for analytically-minded people to approach it in that framework.
A lot of interesting overlaps between CBT, mindfulness, the Stoicism of Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus, and Buddhism.
One thing I am finding helpful these days and you alluded to it is recognizing the things I cannot change no matter how much I may want to and then focusing my energy on the things I can do/change.
Most of us could do with a bit more of, as the 'serenity prayer' has it, "the courage to change the things that can be changed, the serenity to accept that which cannot be changed, and the wisdom to know the difference".
