Most people nowadays think that they are victims of some external force, doomed to a life less fulfilled and/or happy. William Glasser and other cognitive-based therapists argue that mental health, with few exceptions, is a choice that each of us makes. As such, we and we alone have the power to change how we think and, therefore, how we feel and what we do about it. Dr. Mathis will be exploring this idea further on this podcast, along with some suggestions as to how to get out of this self-defeating cycle.
