Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is founded on the core principle that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are all interconnected. Often referred to as the CBT Triangle, this framework helps individuals understand that a change in one area can heavily influence the others.
- Thoughts: What we tell ourselves about a situation.
- Feelings: Our emotional and physiological response.
- Behaviors: What we ultimately do or avoid doing.
By learning to identify cognitive distortions—such as "all-or-nothing" thinking or catastrophizing—individuals can challenge automatic negative thoughts and build healthier emotional habits.
