Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): A structured, short-term psychotherapy that aims to modify dysfunctional thoughts and behaviors to improve emotional well-being, based on the cognitive model linking thoughts, feelings, and actions.

  • Cognitive Distortions: Irrational or exaggerated thought patterns (e.g., all-or-nothing thinking, catastrophizing) that contribute to negative emotions and maladaptive behaviors.

  • Behavioral Activation: A technique encouraging individuals to engage in meaningful activities to combat depression and reduce avoidance behaviors.

  • Cognitive Restructuring: The process of identifying, challenging, and replacing distorted or negative thoughts with more balanced ones.

  • Exposure Therapy: Gradual, controlled exposure to feared stimuli or situations to reduce anxiety and avoidance, commonly used in anxiety disorders.

  • The Cognitive Model: The framework asserting that thoughts influence emotions and behaviors; changing maladaptive thoughts leads to emotional and behavioral change.
