5 Thought Patterns That Feed Depression — And How to Break Free
When you’re feeling low, it can seem like the world is grey and unchangeable. But often, the way we think is quietly fuelling the way we feel.
In this episode, Melli explores five common thought patterns that feed depression—and how to shift out of them using a simple, evidence-based tool called Catch It, Check It, Change It.
These patterns—like all-or-nothing thinking, rumination, and emotional reasoning—often run in the background, disguised as truth. But once we learn to see them clearly, we can begin to loosen their grip and reclaim our clarity, resilience, and inner peace.
You’ll discover:
The 5 thought patterns that deepen and sustain depression
Real-life examples to help you spot them in yourself
A 3-step method to shift into a more flexible and helpful mindset
How Melli used these tools to transform her own experience with depression
This episode offers a grounded, compassionate guide to understanding your mind—and gently rewiring it for strength and healing.
