How Do Catastrophic Thoughts Affect Seniors' Feelings And Actions? - Golden Years CBT

How Do Catastrophic Thoughts Affect Seniors' Feelings And Actions? Are you curious about how negative thoughts can influence seniors' feelings and actions? In this informative video, we'll explain how catastrophic thinking impacts emotional well-being and daily life for older adults. We'll start by describing what catastrophic thoughts are and how they tend to exaggerate problems, making worries seem much worse than they really are. We'll discuss how these thoughts can trigger feelings like fear, anxiety, and sadness, leading seniors to avoid activities they enjoy or need for their health. We'll also explain how cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps seniors recognize and challenge these distorted thoughts. You'll learn about practical techniques such as questioning the likelihood of worst-case scenarios and gathering evidence that supports more positive, realistic outcomes. The video will cover simple actions seniors can take, like gradually increasing physical activity or practicing mindfulness, to build confidence and reduce avoidance behaviors. Whether you're a caregiver, a senior, or someone interested in mental health strategies, understanding how to manage catastrophic thoughts can make a big difference.
