Take care of your Mind

Feeling GOOD was first published in 1980.at that time very few people had heard of cognitive therapy.since that time, cognitive therapy has caught on in a big way among mental health professionals and the general public as well.in fact, cognitive therapy has become one of the most widely practiced and most intensely researched forms of psychotherapy in the world.

why such interest in this particular bran of psychotherapy?

There are at least three reasons.

• First the basic ideas or very down-to-earth and intuitively appealing.
• Second,many research studies have confirmed that cognitive therapy can be very helpful for individual suffering depression and anxiety and a number of other common problems as well.In fact, cognitive therapy appears to be at least as helpful as the best antidepressant medication such as Prozac. 
• Third, many successful self-help books have created a strong popular demand for cognitive therapy in the united states and throughout the world as well.

what Cognitive Therapy is?

A cognitive a thought or perception.in other words your cognition are the way you are thinking about things at any moment, including this very moment.these thoughts scroll across your mind automatically and often have a huge impact on how you feel.

for example:-

Right now you are probably having some thoughts and feeling about this cognitive knowledge.
 if you picked this knowledge up because you have been feeling depressed and discouraged.

you may be thinking about things in a negative, self-critical way:-

"I'm such a loser.that's wrong with me? i will never get better.a stupid self-help knowledge about cognitive therapy could not possibly help me. i don't have any problem with my thoughts.my problems are real"

If you are feeling angry or annoyed you may be thinking:-

"this guy burns in just a con artist and he is just trying to get rich.he probably doesn't even know what he is talking about"

And 
if you are feeling optimistic and interested you may be thinking:-

" WOW! this is interesting knowledge. i may learn something really exciting and helpful"

In each case, your thoughts create your feelings.this example illustrates the powerful principle at the heart of cognitive therapy your feelings result from the messages you give yourself.in fact, your thoughts often have much more to do with how you feel than what is actually happening in your life.
