Heal your self on your own

Cognitive therapy is not a new idea.Nearly two thousand years ago the Greek philosopher, Epictetus. stated that people are disturbed " not by things, but by the views we take of them"

Shakespeare expressed a similar idea when he said:-

Although the idea has been around for ages,most depressed people do not really comprehend it.if you feel depressed you may think it is because of bad things that have happened to you.you may think you are inferior and destined to be unhappy because you failed in your work or were rejected by someone you loved.you may think your feelings of inadequacy result from some personal defect.you may feel convinced you are not smart enough, successful enough, attractive enough of talented enough to feel happy and fulfilled.you may think you negative feelings are the reality of an unloving or traumatic childhood or bad genes you inherited, or a chemical or hormonal imbalance of some type.

or you may blame others when you get upset:-

 And nearly all Depressed people are convinced that they are facing some special ,awful truth about themselves and the world and that their terrible feelings are absolutely realistic and inevitable.
certainly all these ideas contain an important germ of truth.Bad things do happened and life beats up on most of us at times.Many people do experience catastrophic losses and confront devastating personal problems.Our genes, hormones and childhood experiences probably do have an impact on how we think and feel.And other people can be annoying, cruel, or thoughtless.But all these theories about the causes of our bad moods have the tendency to make us victims.Because we think the causes result from something beyond our control.

After all, there is little we can do to change the way people drive at rush hour, or the way we were treated when we were young, or our genes or body chemistry (save taking a pill)In contrast,you can learn to change the way you think about things, and you can also change your basic values and beliefs and when you do you will often experience profound and lasting changes in your mood, outlook, and productivity. that, in a nutshell, is what cognitive therapy is all about

The theory is straightforward and may even seem overly simple but don't write it off as pop psychology. i think you will discover that cognitive therapy can be surprisingly helpful even if you feel pretty skeptical when you frost learn about it.
 More than thirty thousand cognitive therapy sessions conducted with hundreds of depressed and anxious individuals, and  surprised result came out that how helpful and powerful this method can be.the effectiveness of cognitive therapy has been confirmed by many outcome studies by researchers throughout the world during the past two decades.
