Cognitive Behaviorism

Cognitive Behaviorism is a psychological approach that combines elements of cognitive psychology and behaviorism. It focuses on how our thoughts and beliefs influence our behaviors. While traditional behaviorism emphasizes observable actions and external stimuli, cognitive behaviorism also considers internal mental processes. It suggests that by changing negative or unhelpful thoughts, we can alter our behaviors and improve our emotional well-being. This approach is commonly used in therapy, helping individuals understand the connection between their thinking patterns and their actions, leading to more effective coping strategies and healthier behaviors.
