explains how negative automatic thoughts (e.g., “I’m useless”) create a self-fulfilling problem cycle—worsening mood, avoidance, and reinforcement of irrational beliefs.
Therapy focuses on identifying and challenging these thoughts through reality testing, thought records, and highlighting positive experiences, replacing irrational cognitions with more realistic appraisals to change emotions and behaviors.
