You finally sit on the couch, open a book, or just breathe — but instead of relaxing, your mind whispers:
“You should be doing more.”
No matter how much you get done, it never feels like enough.
There’s always another task, another improvement, another thing you “should” be doing.
Guilt creeps in when you rest.
Even joy feels like procrastination.
I know that voice—“It’s not enough. You’re not enough.”
It followed me through med school and into my work as a doctor. I’ve seen it again and again in patients—especially high-performing and creative types. It’s often one of the toughest roadblocks to healing.
For years, this has been a personal and professional focus of mine. With the help of CBT-based tools, I’ve observed great improvements in myself and patients. In this course, I share the strategies that have been particularly helpful.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a practical form of psychotherapy that focuses on the interaction of thoughts, feelings, and behavior. The modern version I use in my clinical practice puts an additional emphasis on mindfulness.
No previous knowledge is required to benefit from this course. We will go through the fundamentals and build on them as we progress.
I’m Adrian, a doctor specialized in psychotherapy.
But I’m also a creator – breaking down the complex world of human psychology into digestible pieces is my jam.
I write a weekly newsletter about the mind. You can find it here if that sounds interesting.
7 daily emails — short, powerful lessons + reflection prompts
Core CBT concepts — simplified into practical tools for daily life
Clear action steps to transport into your daily life
A framework for guilt-free rest you can use long after the 7 days are over
Notice the guilt → Where does it show up in your life?
Understand the CBT triangle → Thoughts, feelings, actions fuel each other.
Analyze situations → Spot the automatic judgments driving your guilt.
Take contrary action → Do the opposite of what guilt demands (start small).
Try new thoughts → Replace “rest is lazy” with kinder, more helpful assessments.
Practice defusion → See thoughts as stories, not facts (yes, singing them helps!).
Talk to your critic → Listen with curiosity, then set kinder terms for yourself.
Not sure it’ll help? Try it and see.
You’ll get a full refund within 14 days of starting the course if you’re not satisfied—no questions asked.
