In this late-night confessional therapy session, I unpack the wild series of events that led me to make homemade french fries at 4AM while binge-watching Murder, She Wrote. Was it hunger? Boredom? Anxiety? Or a cry for help in truffle aioli form?
Turns out, it was anxiety. And instead of spiraling deeper, Dr. Joy introduces me to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) — a powerful tool for understanding how anxious thoughts fuel our behaviors (like late-night frying).
🌀 In this session, we dive into:
The real reason I made fries from scratch in the middle of the night
Nighttime anxiety and restless thought patterns
The shame spiral that follows impulsive comfort habits
How CBT can help reframe your thinking and calm your nervous system
Creating healthy coping habits and goals for emotional regulation
✨ This episode is equal parts hilarious and healing — for anyone who’s ever self-soothed with snacks and spirals.
