In this episode, Dr. Kashey talks about various techniques he used to help his client, Tabitha, overcome her self-destructive emotional disturbances and develop a healthier relationship with physical activity. He emphasizes acknowledging negative feelings as a motivator for improvement rather than a source of guilt and shame. Dr. Kashey explains how he guided Tabitha through exercises like purposefully engaging in embarrassing activities to desensitize her to the fear of judgment and recognize that people are primarily self-centered, diminishing the impact of others' opinions. He also discusses the distinction between self-esteem and self-respect, encouraging Tabitha to assess her decisions objectively rather than judging her entire worth based on outcomes. Additionally, Dr. Kashey describes a role-reversal technique where Tabitha's friend pretended to be her, voicing her negative self-talk, allowing Tabitha to dispute these irrational beliefs from an external perspective.
