CBT
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is based on the idea that our thoughts, feelings and behaviours are linked together and are affected by each other. So we can be in a negative cycle, thinking negative thoughts, feelings negative feelings and then we can act in negative ways.
However, this negative cycle can be turned around by changing either our thoughts, feelings or actions. It can give adults and children a feeling of mastery over emotions which previously seemed to take over us.
