Looking for a cognitive behavioral counselor in Georgetown, Round Rock, Cedar Park?
A cognitive behavioral counselor in Georgetown, Round Rock, Cedar Park teaches how our thoughts are so powerful, they create our feelings and our experience of reality. Your brain is making thoughts all the time. Some of them are true, some are not. There are specific categories of thinking errors that can be learned and applied to our thoughts so we can detect and correct inaccurate thoughts with thoughts that are more true, less extreme, and in most cases, feel better.
Keep reading if you are considering cognitive behavioral therapy in Georgetown, Round Rock, or Cedar Park area. An example of a thinking error category is Overgeneralization. “My Mom NEVER lets me do ANYTHING I want to do.” If that is your thought, and you believe it, well, that’s probably going to be upsetting. You may end up being pretty nasty to your mom thinking this thought. But if you learn to question and recognize the error, you can also learn to replace the thought, or talk back to it. “Well, sometimes my mom doesn’t let me do what I want, and sometimes she does.”
