It sort of redeemed CBT for me because I was at a point where I was becoming a bit disillusioned

with it because it felt incomplete to me, at least the way I was practicing it. It felt like

it wasn't quite fully human, but realizing that I could incorporate this part of this mindful

part which to me felt like bringing the heart to the head and body of CBT.

Welcome to the Psychology Podcast. Today we welcome Seth Gillahan to the show.

Seth is a licensed psychologist who specializes in mindful, cognitive, behavioral therapy,

or CBT for short. He received his doctorate in psychology from the University of Pennsylvania.

Seth is also a therapy advisor with the self therapy app Bloom, a medical reviewer for

Everyday Health, and host of the Think Act B podcast. Over the years he's authored multiple books

on mindfulness and CBT. His latest book is called Mindful Cognitive Behavioral Therapy,

a simple path to healing, hope, and peace. In this episode I talked to Seth Gillahan about Mindful CBT.

Cognitive behavioral therapy is often used to address mental health issues. Although proven to

be helpful, Seth believes that adding the component of mindfulness will not only improve our

well-being, but can also help us find meaning, purpose, and peace. He shares with us the Think

Act B paradigm and ways we can be more in tune with ourselves. We also touch on the topics of

alignment, spirituality, suffering, and openness to experience. This was a really, really meaningful

special chat for me, and I know what it will be for you too. Seth is deeply sensitive, deeply

thoughtful human being. It's been a pleasure to call him my friend for a couple of years now,

and I just find his writings really nuanced, but also they combine typical CBT approaches with

a whole other level of spirituality that you often won't find in CBT approaches. So I really

think you'll find this episode really unique as I did. So without further ado, I bring you Seth

Gillahan. Good to see you after having seen you in person. Yeah, I was nice to finally meet you
