Ever feel like you need a mental health day but talk yourself out of it? Dr. Tina Sherry from the North Jersey Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy discusses the importance of taking breaks and how small changes in mindset can have significant impacts.
Dr. Sherry emphasizes, "It’s okay to hit pause," highlighting that taking time for mental health is crucial. She explains how cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can aid individuals in making these necessary shifts in their thinking patterns to improve overall well-being.
By incorporating CBT techniques, individuals may find themselves better equipped to manage stress and enhance their mental health. The approach involves recognizing negative thought patterns and replacing them with more constructive ones, leading to improved emotional resilience.
