Struggling with perfectionism and catastrophic thinking? In this 30-minute episode, host Justin G. Nelson breaks down all-or-nothing thinking—the cognitive distortion that keeps you stuck in anxiety loops. You'll learn what black-and-white thinking really is and why your brain defaults to extremes, how this pattern shows up in creativity, dating, and healing from trauma, why one mistake feels like total failure (and how to stop the spiral), plus practical methods to retrain your brain for nuance and gray area thinking. Perfect for creatives battling perfectionism, anxious overthinkers, people-pleasers, anyone in therapy working on cognitive distortions, and daters who spiral after one awkward text. Subscribe to Adjusting Your Anxiety with Justin G. Nelson for weekly episodes on rewiring anxious thought patterns!
