Cognitive therapy is a form of psychotherapy, developed by Dr. Aaron T. Beck,[1] 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."[2] The theory is that depression and anxiety are caused by negative thinking patterns.[3] or cognitive distortions, such as jumping to conclusions, all or nothing thinking, and "Catastrophizing".[4]
