What? More thought traps? Yes, lots more. Hooray. Listen and spot your favorite one to work on this week. These traps derail us or leave us spinning our wheels. The ratio is great but awareness and curiosity are better for spotting and responding to them. We discuss and share examples of some of them, like Personalizing, Blaming, Unfair Comparisons, Regret Orientation, What IFs, Emotional Reasoning, Inability to Disconfirm, and Judgment Focus.

Join the Empowered Catholic Podcast, where we come together to seek empowerment to become the people God created us to be.  Your hosts are Karen and Curtis: life coaches and public speakers. We are on a mission to spread the vision and tools of empowerment to all Christians, so you can experience the full power of the Holy Spirit active and free in your life. We invite you to engage with this group and seize the opportunity for personal and spiritual growth, transformed relationships, and new purpose and hope in God's plan for you and for the whole world. "Be who you were created to be, and you will set the world on fire." –St. Catherine of Sienna.
