This is a psychotherapeutic approach aimed at understanding and changing negative thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors that can lead to emotional and psychological problems. The fundamental idea of CBT is that our thoughts influence our feelings and actions, and by changing our thoughts, we can improve our emotional well-being.
This approach involves active collaboration between the client and therapist. The therapist helps the client identify negative and destructive thoughts and then guides them in analyzing and reviewing these thoughts.
