What CBT Therapy Is

Understanding the CBT Cycle: CBT recognizes the interconnectedness of our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

When we have a thought, it generates immediate effects on our body and brain, influencing our emotional state.

This emotional response, in turn, impacts our behaviors, creating a continuous cycle.

CBT addresses three types of thought patterns: automatic thoughts, cognitive distortions, and underlying beliefs or schemas that shape how we view ourselves and the world.

Just came across your stuff Barbara. Both my wife and I are benefitting a lot from the time you’ve put in to sharing your expertise on CBT. Your teaching style really has resonated with us and is very cleared. Thanks for what you’re doing!

CBT did destroy me. 😭😭 Back then I was an undiagnosed autistic being with alexithymia. My therapist did blame me for not trying hard enough and so on. After doing research on my own and some time later I got my diagnosis from a doctor and everything made sense. CBT never again. Therapists are often not educated enough and think this is the solution for everyone when in reality it isn't. I even thought about And still I'm in the process of overcoming the therapy hurt in additional to my other struggles for which I entered therapy in first place.

1. So is there an option to release brain chemicals associated with well being only ? 2. How can this be initiated specifically?
