132 — Understand Your Habits by Uncovering the Emotional Thread That Drives Your Behavior

Mentally Stronger with Therapist Amy Morin

Do you ever wonder why you do the things you do? My therapy office is filled with people who want to better understand their behavior and habits, so I teach them how to trace the emotional thread.

From overeating to overthinking, there's a reason you engage in your behavior. In this episode, I'll help you quickly discover why you've formed certain habits or how you've developed patterns that are holding you back. Once you better understand why you do these things, creating positive change is easier. You'll learn how to identify habits you want to change, trace the emotional thread, and shift your behavior today.
