CBT Coaching Strategies: How to Stop Negative Thinking and Transform Your Life

In this powerful episode of The CBT Coaching Podcast, Dr. Barry, a former professor, national trainer, clinical director, author, and consultant with over 30 years of experience, breaks down the hidden force that quietly shapes your emotional life, your habits, and your success: negative, distorted thinking.

You’ll discover how patterns like catastrophizing, mind-reading, all-or-nothing thinking, and faulty assumptions about failure can hold you back from achieving your goals, improving your relationships, building confidence, and living the life you know you’re capable of.

This episode teaches you how CBT coaching empowers you to:

• Recognize distorted thoughts
• Challenge inaccurate beliefs
• Replace old patterns with balanced, realistic thinking
• Regulate emotions more effectively
• Strengthen relationships and communication
• Build healthier habits
• Respond with intention instead of reacting out of stress, fear, or insecurity

Dr. Barry guides you step-by-step through the core principles of Cognitive Behavioral Theory — showing how your thoughts shape your feelings, and your feelings shape your actions — and how changing one part of this chain can change your life.

You’ll learn why mindfulness is essential for emotional growth, how core beliefs are formed, and how CBT tools allow you to break free from old patterns that keep you stuck.

This episode is designed to help you think better, feel better, and live better — starting today.

🎙️ Podcast Episode Description: “Moving Beyond the Pain of Regrets.”

In this powerful episode of The CBT Coaching Podcast, Dr. Barry M. Gregory Ed.D., M.Ed., BA guides you through one of the deepest human struggles: regret. Whether it’s a relationship you stayed in too long, an opportunity you walked away from, or a version of yourself you abandoned, regret can feel like a lifelong sentence — but it doesn’t have to be.

Dr. Barry breaks down the real psychological and physical cost of staying stuck in chronic regret, and explains how the CBT model helps us understand the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that keep us trapped in the past. You’ll learn how regret forms, why it hurts so much, and most importantly, how to turn it into a source of clarity and strength.

This episode offers a complete, step-by-step CBT roadmap for healing regret, including:

• How cognitive distortions like all-or-nothing thinking, catastrophizing, and hindsight bias fuel emotional pain
• How to challenge harsh self-judgments and replace them with realistic, balanced thoughts
• How to use your regret as guidance instead of punishment
• Four practical CBT tools — self-compassion, the Compass Method, behavioral activation, and self-forgiveness — to break free from rumination and build forward momentum
• How regret can become the catalyst for stronger boundaries, healthier relationships, and a more intentional life

If you’ve ever thought, “It’s too late,” “I ruined everything,” or “I’ll never recover,” this episode will give you the tools, hope, and science-backed strategies to start your next chapter with clarity and confidence.

Your past explains you — it does not define you. Your new story starts today.
