The human brain is the most complex physical entity in the universe.[1]
Cognitive therapy is a form of psychotherapy, developed by Dr. Aaron T. Beck,[2] that emphasizes the important role of thinking in how we feel and what we do. Also called cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), it is "based on the idea that our thoughts cause our feelings and behaviors, not external things, like people, situations, and events."[3] The theory is that depression and anxiety are caused by negative thinking patterns.[4] or cognitive distortions, such as jumping to conclusions, all or nothing thinking, and "Catastrophizing".[5]
According to the Cleveland Clinic, "Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a type of talk therapy (psychotherapy). It’s based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), but it’s specially adapted for people who experience emotions very intensely."[6]
