Jodie Eckleberry-Hunt PHD, ABPP
Health Psychologist, Author, Thought Leader.
Welcome Friends
I'm Dr. Jodie Eckleberry-Hunt, board-certified health psychologist, author, and swearing expert.
Don't you just love when someone tells you that your bad habits (like swearing) are healthy?! I'm here to tell you just that! There is a lot of research that shows targeted use of cursing leads to cathartic release and laughter - even in very painful life circumstances.
I've spent years working with people who struggle with anxiety, hurt, trauma, and growth. Life is hard. There are no shortcuts, but we have many evidence-based tools to help people survive and thrive. My specialty is mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, which is a fancy way of saying I help folks identify what terrible, judgmental things they say to themselves and begin to fight back - with choice words. And it works, especially if we can learn to let go with a lighter heart.
Because I can't possibly meet personally with everyone seeking assistance, I enjoy writing blogs and books, conducting workshops, and giving keynote speeches. I hope you find something within this website that speaks to you.
I’m grateful for the amazing feedback I’ve received from readers who see themselves in my stories, feel inspired by my focus on hope and grit, and appreciate the actionable tools I share-like journal prompts and practical exercises. If you’re navigating life’s inevitable challenges or simply want to embrace your true, resilient self, you’re in the right place. Let’s get started together!
