In this episode of Holding Space, Dr. Christopher Barker, a clinical psychologist with over 25 years of experience, breaks down confirmation bias—how we tend to focus only on evidence that supports our existing beliefs while ignoring anything that challenges them. Dr. Barker uses a visual "doorway" analogy to explain how negative thinking can reinforce itself over time, leading to patterns that affect self-esteem, relationships, and mental health. He explores how confirmation bias shows up in everyday life, in personality disorders, and in conditions like depression and anxiety. Most importantly, he offers practical advice for shifting toward healthier thinking: keeping an open mind, considering positive alternatives, and practicing critical thinking. Whether you're dealing with self-doubt, navigating conflict, or simply wanting to improve your mindset, this episode offers insight and tools for breaking free from limiting beliefs.
