This week we’re joined again by Dr. David Ley! Dr. Ley is a Gracie Barra black belt and a leading psychotherapist in New Mexico. In this episode, Dr. Ley gives us a primer on cognitive behavioral therapy.
Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is an effective tool for treating anxiety, depression, and many mental health disorders. It’s also a great tool for general lifestyle and mindset improvement, and in this episode Dr. Ley shares some advice on how CBT can be beneficial to grapplers.
