I chose cognitve behavioral therapy because its a very different type of therapy, its short term, its one of the only therapies that you can actually monitor, its very diresct, and it can statistically show people improving. CBT is the most highly researched kind of psychotherapy in the world. CBT is based on the idea that our thoughts affects our feelings and behaviors. Something happens to use and we use thought to interpret the event which can happen so fast that we don’t’ even notice it’s happening. Then we react to our thoughts with our emotions and behavior. When I think about CBT, stimulus response comes to mind. A stimulus is a change in the environment which triggers a response and people can respond in complex ways
