We can be exposed to many challenging experiences throughout our lives, we can be psychologically worn out, and we can face emotions and thoughts that we do not want. How we perceive the situation we experience, as well as how we perceive it, is of great importance for our psychological well-being. As with many different therapy approaches, emotions, thoughts, and behaviors are interconnected in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). They can make sense when taken as a whole. The main purpose of cognitive behavioral therapy is to help change dysfunctional/negative thoughts (cognitive) and behaviors in a safe and uncensored environment in order to cope with challenging situations and emotions. Targeted in therapy; destructive to events,
It is to determine one's own resources instead of escaping or ignoring problems by changing our dysfunctional thoughts and beliefs and to gain healthier coping skills against problems by using these resources.
