00:00hey everyone i'm with bonnie many of you already know her she's a board certified counselor and
00:07she's actually speaking at our unveiled workshop we are so excited about that and i'm gonna let
00:12her talk just a few minutes about some of the things she is filling for this year's workshop
00:17and you want to make plans to be there it's going to be incredible all right go ahead bonnie
00:22thank you stephanie well we're back again we're very excited about the unveiled workshop that is
00:28going to happen uh just in the next few months um but i wanted to sort of um do a quick recap i'll
00:38we'll be doing this i'll be doing a workshop at unveiled on one of the areas that i'm going to
00:43be doing it on would be on cognitive restructuring uh i feel that one of the many reasons for anxiety
00:50for our generations women men young people who constantly battle with anxiety is because we are
00:59in a constantly negative environment in conversation in relationships and in in social media uh in media
01:09as a whole and even if something good were to happen to someone for example if you ended up
01:15getting a great fabulous job somewhere there's always this sky is falling team that's your negative
01:22people the sky is falling types cannot control their impulse to tack on the line yeah i know i've got a
01:29great job but now i have to deal with the traffic of getting to my new job you know so there's always
01:34negativity and the reason for cognitive restructuring is to deal with the negativity to deal with
01:40cognitive processes that hinder the way we think now remember we um individuals who are negative
01:52okay and we've all been negative at some point in our lives we've always said something negative but
01:58individuals who are constantly negative have gotten into what is referred to as a negative feedback loop
02:05okay i'm going to say that again negative feedback loop come to unveiled you'll learn more about that
02:11and how to overcome it um and what it means is they truly cannot help themselves they have got involved
02:19in a neural pathway that our brains is made of uh messages by neurotransmitters firing off messages
02:26to everywhere okay so when you get into a habit of thinking something all the time uh thinking of
02:32something negative all the time it creates a neural pathway you create furrows you create a pathway
02:37in your brain and you get into a habit of thinking that because when you pour water into a pathway it's going
02:44to follow that pathway you know the train is going to go on tracks that are already made and it's already
02:50set the train is going to go on those tracks so you are creating tracks in your brain and the train or the
02:58thought process or decisions that you make is going to go along those negative lines and arrive at a negative
03:05conclusion so no matter what happens in their lives they perceive everything negatively and respond on autopilot
03:12so people who have a negative feedback loop are on autopilot and your brain however good news brain can be
03:20rewired so what are we going to do at unveiled workshop we're going to learn how to rewire your brain
03:25no there's not going to be any kind of medical surgery going on and uh all of that but it's
03:30going to be good knowledge and and and exercise and practice for you to use on a daily basis on your
03:36own restructuring your cognitive thought process can create new neural or neural pathways that can be
03:44forged doctors have found that even stroke victims people that have lost their ability to think
03:51properly uh the brain has the ability to help patients relearn things that they have forgotten
03:59to do things forgotten to walk forgotten to eat forgotten to think forgot to make decisions
04:04uh forgotten people the brain can be rewired and can heal and this same concept can be applied
04:11to habitual negative thinkers who can retrain their brain to think and respond more positively okay
04:19so changing your thinking means changing your life all right um and and that's that's what it means
04:26changing your thinking means changing your life and i don't want to give away too much i am so tempted
04:32to tell you more but i won't i will wait till unveiled see you there and you will see me there
