Cognitive rehearsal

Cognitive rehearsal is a mental technique used to prepare yourself to handle challenging situations or responses more effectively. It involves mentally practicing how you might react to certain scenarios, such as potential conflicts or stressful encounters. By imagining and rehearsing positive or assertive responses in advance, you can build confidence and reduce anxiety when facing real-life situations. This process helps you develop better communication skills and emotional resilience, making it easier to respond thoughtfully rather than reacting impulsively.
