Behavioral Activation Therapy

Behavioral Activation Therapy is a psychological treatment designed to help individuals improve their mood and reduce depression by encouraging them to engage in meaningful activities. It focuses on identifying and overcoming avoidance behaviors that contribute to negative feelings. By setting small, achievable goals and gradually increasing participation in enjoyable or necessary tasks, the therapy helps individuals reconnect with positive experiences and reinforce a sense of accomplishment. This approach empowers individuals to take active steps in their lives, ultimately leading to improved emotional well-being and a better quality of life.
