Most of us are trapped in a roller-coaster of 'automatic' thoughts, emotions, and actions. Try as hard as we might, when we see certain people or heard certain things, we get emotional. These intense emotions then trigger us to say certain things out of habit. We also often feel pushed to act a certain way. This all plays out so quickly we feel we really have no control about it. Very much like being on a roller-coaster.

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy is a great way to implement psychotherapeutic principles, because it takes a conversational, "solutions-oriented" approach. It is through this type of "talk therapy" that harmful thoughts are identified, and then assessed whether or not they are accurate. If not, you can then employ proven strategies to challenge and overcome them.
