Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Thoughts Influence Emotions and Behaviors: Cognitive therapy is based on the idea that our thoughts significantly influence our emotions and behaviors. By changing maladaptive or distorted thinking patterns, we can improve emotional responses and behaviors. Cognitive Distortions: People often engage in cognitive distortions, such as overgeneralization, catastrophizing, or black-and-white thinking. Cognitive therapy helps identify and challenge these distortions. Collaborative Approach: The therapist and client work together to identify problematic thoughts, test their validity, and develop healthier ways of thinking. Homework Assignments: Clients are often given tasks or exercises to complete between sessions. These might include keeping thought records, practicing new behaviors, or experimenting with alternative thoughts.
