What is Cognitive Restructuring?
Cognitive restructuring is based on the idea that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected. When we have negative thoughts, it can lead to negative emotions and behaviors. For example, if you think that you are not good enough, you may feel sad or anxious and avoid social situations.
Cognitive restructuring helps you to identify the negative thoughts that are causing you distress and challenge them. You can then replace these negative thoughts with more positive and realistic ones. This can lead to positive changes in your emotions and behaviors.
