Ep# 201: How to Love Using Your Body Part 3

In this episode, Dr. Kashey continues his workshop on "How to Love Using Your Body" by focusing on the cognitive aspect of the Stimulus-Response-Outcome (SRO) model. He introduces the concept of disputation, which involves detecting distorted belief systems, discriminating between rational and irrational thoughts, and debating the validity of these beliefs to replace them with more rational ones. Dr. Kashey shares the example of Tabitha, a former client who successfully employed this disputation process to overcome her aversion to physical activity. Tabitha learned to ask herself three key questions: "Why should I be exempt and still get what I want?" "What makes being active so horrible?" and "Where's the evidence that I can't stand it?" By challenging her distorted beliefs and irrational thoughts, Tabitha was able to transition from a mindset of avoidance to one of embracing physical activity and enjoying its benefits. Dr. Kashey emphasizes the importance of intellectual understanding and philosophical integration, where beliefs are truly internalized and reflected in one's actions and way of living.
