Good afternoon, everyone. It's Dr. Niagara again, our next episode of Psychology Unplugged.

Thank you for another fun week of talking with so many people from across the globe.

I thoroughly enjoyed doing this. I never realized or imagine that the podcast would reach the level and magnitude of the audience.

And I hope myself and Julia are doing the best we can to really legitimize mental health,

destigmatize it, demystify it, and instill a sense of hope.

So I'll give you my contact information, as always, at the end of the show.

Feel free to get a hold of me.

This was a fun week because I think about half of the eval as I did were from people from different parts of the United States and different parts of the world.

So much appreciation and gratitude for the confidence that you've placed in me to do a

neuropsychial, and I look forward to following up with you guys.

So today's topic, this is the third episode of which I actually made notes.

Now it comes down to can I read my own writing because that tends to be a problem most of the time.

But, you know, I do this program organically, but I saw something on my desk and I was like,

all right, I think this is a good topic.

So we're going to focus on, I like the work of Robert Leahy, L-E-A-H-Y.

He's definitely a cognitive behavioral psychologist, and his books have been, I think,

tremendously helpful for a lot of patients across a wide spectrum of disorders.

And I want to focus today on problematic beliefs and responses to emotions.

Now, that may seem surprising that I'm going to talk about emotions.

I think I did an episode on it because it was Julie with bags.

Part with the cognitive behavioral therapy is really focusing primarily on

changing the emotions and the behaviors, sorry, I'm sorry, checking the cognitions and the behaviors
