Why Criticism Can NEVER Hurt You
Have you ever been hurt by criticism? Criticism may feel painful, but it can never actually upset you—only your thoughts can. In this video, Dr. David Burns (author of Feeling Good and creator of TEAM CBT) and Dr. Carly Zankman (clinical psychologist and TEAM CBT Level 4 Advanced Trainer) explain why it’s not criticism itself that causes emotional pain, but the thoughts we attach to it. We have to buy into a criticism to feel upset. But then, it's our own thoughts that are causing our pain. And here's something really weird, but true and reassuring. Those negative thoughts will almost NEVER be true. They're chock full of cognitive distortions! Through examples and role-play, you’ll see: Why defensiveness makes criticism more powerful How agreeing with criticism can disarm it How distorted thinking fuels hurt, anger, and shame How to respond with confidence, self-respect and other-respect If criticism has ever left you feeling anxious, angry, or discouraged, this video offers a radically different way to understand and respond to it. 👇 Practice Five Secrets of Effective Communication in the Feeling Great app: https://feelinggreat.app.link/xJybmHZ... 📘 Learn more in Feeling Good Together 👉 Subscribe for more insights: @FeelingGreatApp ABOUT THE “FEELING GREAT” APP 😊 Feeling Great is a new mobile app inspired by the groundbreaking work of world-renowned psychiatrist and author, Dr. David Burns.
