Hey everyone, I'm Kristen the anxiety therapist and today I'm going to be differentiating between facts and opinions.

Hey everyone, I'm Kristen, the anxiety therapist and today I'm going to be talking about another cognitive distortion, which is the fallacy of change if you haven't seen my other videos.
