The CBT Dive

CBT Shorts: Can’t Break My Soul - When Dating Meets Grind Culture

Rahim Thawer, MSW Season 1 Episode 16

In this special Shorts episode, we revisit some highlights from a previous season that dive deep into personal journeys and the challenges of dating apps. Our guest, Terence, believes that everyone is on their unique path. Yet, he struggles with feelings of resentment when judged by people with impressive job titles and comfortable bank accounts.

Join host Rahim Thawer and Terence as they invoke the wisdom of Beyonce to reframe Terence’s feelings of inadequacy. They explore how capitalism and grind culture can be especially tough for those managing trauma and adult ADHD. Watch as Rahim guides Terence through a thought record, helping him reshape his self-perception and view of potential Tinder matches.
