Behavioural Activation

Behavioral Activation is a therapeutic approach that helps individuals improve their mood by encouraging them to engage in meaningful, enjoyable, or necessary activities. When people feel depressed or overwhelmed, they often withdraw from these activities, which can worsen their feelings. This method focuses on gradually increasing participation in these activities to break the cycle of withdrawal and low mood. By doing so, it helps restore a sense of accomplishment, purpose, and connection, leading to improvements in emotional well-being. Overall, it emphasizes action as a key step toward feeling better.
