On this episode of Mental Health Pod Squad, hosts Jamie and Sandy discuss the cognitive domain and how it is impacted by mental health issues. They explain the left brain/right brain dominance theory and how to fuel the mind, such as recognizing when negative thoughts arise and reframing them in a positive way. They also provide a step-by-step guide to reframing and emphasize the importance of recognizing our thoughts and developing skills to support our cognitive functioning.
Listeners are encouraged to spend intentional time completing the tasks discussed in the episode, such as looking inward and reflecting on how to create growth. Jamie and Sandy suggest keeping a journal to further engage with the material and provide tips on nurturing and nourishing each domain.
