Ep 122: The Thought Trap - Why Your Mind Might Be Making Things Worse
About this episode
Do you ever catch yourself spiraling into negative thoughts about your relationship with your grown child? You're not alone, and those thoughts might not even be true. In this episode, we're diving into cognitive distortions—those sneaky mental filters that twist reality and make everything feel worse than it actually is. I'll walk you through the most common thinking traps that affect moms of adult children, show you where these patterns come from, and give you practical ways to break free. If you've been feeling stuck in worry, rejection, or misunderstanding, this episode will help you see things more clearly and move forward with hope.
