Working as a health coach, I’ve had the chance to go through the same CBT-based courses we offer to clients. Those lessons haven’t just shaped how I coach—they’ve transformed my own understanding of CBT for wellness.
💡 What Is CBT?
Cognitive Behavioral Training (CBT) helps people recognize how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected, so they can make better choices and build lasting habits.
Facing Triggers Builds Strength
For a long time, I believed wellness meant avoiding temptation altogether. But one of the biggest mindset shifts came from using CBT: the idea that true growth happens when we face our triggers, not avoid them.
It’s not about never seeing ice cream. It’s about seeing it and choosing what aligns with your goals. That shift from avoidance to empowerment has been game changing.
It’s taught me that resilience is built not in isolation, but in real-world moments where we practice control, awareness, and self-compassion.
Balance Over Perfection
Another powerful shift has been moving away from “all or nothing” thinking. Wellness isn’t about being perfect, it’s about being consistent, aware, and flexible.
I’ve learned it’s okay to enjoy something without guilt. What matters isn’t one moment—it’s the habits, intentions, and frequency behind our choices. That mindset makes health feel a lot more human.
Coaching from Experience
The tools we use in our coaching programs aren’t just for clients. CBT for wellness has helped me grow, too. And I carry these lessons with me every day, both in my own wellbeing and in how I support others.
