What We Learned from this Video:
- CBT is based on the idea that our thoughts affect our feelings and behaviors.
- CBT has been proven to help with a wide range of disorders, addictions and mental health issues.
- Irrational beliefs are thoughts that people have with no evidence.
- Automatic thoughts are negative thoughts that enter a person’s mind without them noticing.
- CBT is not necessarily about making all of someone’s thoughts happy, but about making them realistic.
- Negative behaviors can create a vicious cycle that reinforces irrational thoughts.
- Therapists will try to break the cycle by modifying the behaviors.
- People view the world differently based on their core beliefs.
- CBT attempts to change these core beliefs in order to change a person’s behavior.
