William James (American Psychologist, 1842-1910) had stated that ¨The greatest discovery of my generation, is that people could change their lives, by changing the views of their minds¨. These words precisely express what Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy stands for and seeks to implement in practice.
Therefore, it involves a method and a kind of sychotherapeutic Intervention, by which a person is trained and learns, how to adopt new Reaction and Behaviour ways and also, how could modify and change the way it perceives, processes, evaluates and interprets the events that happen in life.
Dysfunctional Thought Patterns, oppressed Emotions for a long period of time, well-established, wrong and raw in many cases, Beliefs, compose the way of Behavior and Response of the person to the stimuli around, causing discomfort and difficulty in life.
Through speech and some techniques used by this therapeutic approach, the person will be helped and gain the dynamic, in order to readjust its thoughts, in a functional and effective way, it will learn to identify, process and express its feelings and not be afraid of them, and face them with more courage, certainty and self-confidence.
The person will be equipped to cope successfully with the various challenges of everyday life, which now require flexibility, emotional endurance and mental resilience.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy beyond the valuable knowledge it has to offer, it also gives, this magical feeling of thoughts coexisting and complementing each other harmoniously with
emotions, and the behavior of the individual is characterized by a natural flow, where the person will be in control of it and know how to guide it properly.
Thus an inner peace is achieved, which automatically implies a much easier handling of situations with greater success and confidence that an individual is called to carry out in everyday life, and a much more balanced interaction and healthy communication with fellow humans and the important people who make up its close environment.
