Cognitive Therapy in Groups

In this session of Cognitive Therapy, we delve into the relationship between logical errors and negative emotions. Participants will learn to identify common cognitive distortions, such as overgeneralization and black-and-white thinking, that can lead to unjustified negative feelings. We encourage discussions and reflective questions to help recognize these errors in daily life, enabling better emotional regulation. By mapping out activating events, beliefs, and emotional consequences (the ABCs), individuals can improve their understanding of their cognitive processes and enhance their therapeutic journey.
