Cognitive-Behavioral Coping
Cognitive-Behavioral Coping is a psychological approach that helps individuals manage stress and emotional challenges by changing negative thought patterns. It combines cognitive therapy, which focuses on identifying and altering unhelpful thoughts, with behavioral strategies that encourage positive actions. This method aims to improve emotional regulation and problem-solving skills.
Through techniques such as cognitive restructuring and exposure therapy, individuals learn to recognize and challenge their irrational beliefs. By practicing these skills, they can develop healthier coping mechanisms, leading to improved mental well-being and resilience in the face of life's difficulties.
