Ever felt overwhelmed by catastrophic thinking? Imagine breaking free from this self-sabotaging cycle and embracing a mindset filled with self-compassion and positivity. This special edition of Daily CBT takes you on a transformative journey in a weekend retreat format. We'll navigate the turbulent seas of catastrophic thinking and provide you with the tools to steer your mental ship towards more serene waters.

Then, we equip you with the weapons to replace these unhelpful thoughts with realistic and constructive ones. But the journey doesn't end here. The final and perhaps the most crucial step is to exercise self-compassion. Show yourself the same kindness you would offer a loved one in distress.
