Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the most researched and effective approaches in modern psychology. It's built on a simple insight: your thoughts shape your emotions, and your emotions shape your behavior.
CBT doesn't ask you to "think positive." It teaches you to notice unhelpful thoughts, identify cognitive distortions, and replace them with more balanced interpretations. Take the Cognitive Distortion Quiz to discover which thinking trap runs your brain.
