Bleep Bulimia Episode 121 with Dr. Betsy Holmberg Psychologist and Author of Unkind Mind - Overthinking
My guest Dr. Betsy Holmberg, is a joy to have had on my Podcast. Author of Unkind Mind, and an award-winning psychologist and author specializing in overthinking and negative self-talk. She writes for Psychology Today and has been featured on radio, television, and podcasts. Her first book, Unkind Mind, comes out June 1 by New Harbinger Publications. Before settling into writing and therapy, Betsy ran the global behavioral health service line at McKinsey & Company, a premier consulting firm, where she ranked in the top 5% of all consultants. She also worked at Harvard and co-authored several peer-reviewed academic journal articles on non-suicidal self-injury and suicidal thoughts. She is trained in Cognitive-Behavioral and Dialectical Behavioral therapies, and has treated clients of various ages and presentations. Betsy received her doctorate, master's, and B.A. in Psychology from Duke University.
It was a joy to have her on as a guest and learn about DMN and CEN. CEN - Central Executive Network. And the DMN is the Default Mode Network.
Are you intrigued? I was.
In the days that followed this podcast, I was more aware of the DMN. I am an overthinker. She will reveal the difference in this Podcast.
I love that Dr. Betsy brings up that an eating disorder, and so too alcoholism, or any addiction, is a "coping mechanism". She didn't minimize this as just a problem. She clearly states that it is a "coping mechanism", without any judgment, yet with a solution.
I highly recommend you learn more about her and her book, which will be available starting June 1st, by visiting https://betsyholmberg.com/. And you can pre-order! I already did. Available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
The Unkind Mind. What a great title.
Thank you, Dr. Betsy, for your time and for sharing your stories, your achievements, and your purpose from someone who overthinks even after recovering from bulimia. This was truly insightful.
