If you already understand the basics of CBT, I wanted to go a bit deeper. In Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, automatic thoughts are connected to intermediate beliefs and core beliefs, which can shape perfectionism, anxiety, self-esteem, and emotional reactions. Negative core beliefs can also become reinforced over time, making it harder to notice experiences that contradict them. With practice, more balanced beliefs can gradually become stronger. #cognitivebehavioraltherapy #cbt #cbttherapy #cogni
