Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Men's Air Max 270 React Shoes Black White Cheap , or CBT, views emotions as a complex mixture of these three different realms of human experience - cognitions (thoughts, mental images and memories), physical sensations, and behaviours. A depressed person will typically show depressive thinking (such as believing they're a failure) Men's Air Max 270 Flyknit Shoes Triple Black Cheap , feel depressed in a physical sense (like being tired all the time), and will behave in a depressed fashion (such as taking to their bed).

These three realms all interact and influence one another. For example, if someone habitually thinks in a depressive way, then they will begin to feel and act in a depressive way. Conversely, changing depressive thinking should diminish the feeling of depression Men's Air Max 270 Flyknit Shoes Black God Cheap , and consequently their depressive behaviours.

To understand how one can counter depressive thinking, it can be helpful to divide a persons cognitions (mental processes) into two categories - thought contents and thought patterns.

Thought content is familiar to us all - it's simply what we're thinking. It's the answer to the question "A penny for your thoughts?" For instance, my thought content just now is what I'm going to write in this paragraph. Depressed people have depressive thought content - common themes include that they're a failure, things are hopeless, the future's bleak Men's Air Max 97 Shoes White Cheap , they're cursed by bad luck, they're nasty or evil in some way etc.

Our thought patterns are less obvious to us, but they are still accessible. Our thought patterns are our ways of thinking (or our thinking habits) rather than what we actually think from minute to minute. They're our ways of viewing our experience of ourselves, others, and the world around us. Depressed people will have thinking patterns that emphasise the bad and unpleasant aspects of their experience Men's Air Max 97 Shoes Black Cheap , and diminish or even totally negate the good aspects. For example, a depressed person is likely to remember unpleasant or embarrassing events from their past, and rarely recall the fun times they had.

The content of our thoughts will change rapidly as we go through our day, and will depend greatly on what we're doing at the time. Our thought patterns are stable and can persist throughout our lives - unless we find that they're causing us (or others) emotional problems and we want to change them! And it is our underlying thought patterns that ultimately determines what our thought content is. Depressive thought patterns produce depressive thought content (and then on to depressive sensations and behaviour).

CBT aims to improve depression by changing a person's depressive thinking patterns and helping them develop more balanced, rational and helpful ways of thinking. This will (hopefully!) lead to less depressive thought content and therefore less feelings of depression.

The first step is for you to learn to identify your depressive thoughts. You do this by noting what you're thinking about (your thought content) when you feel particularly distressed. This thought or thoughts (it can also be a mental image or memory) is what we call a Negative Automatic Thought Men's Air Max 2020 Shoes Black White Cheap , or NAT. You will need to monitor and record your NATs over a period of weeks. NATs are unpleasant but they are very useful to us - they allow us to identify your negative thinking patterns.

An example of a NAT might be if you suddenly get depressed or distressed when your partner makes a joke after you've miss-pronounced a word that you're not familiar with. You may think "He's always saying things like that. He thinks I'm stupid, and he's right". Now we will do two things with this NAT. We will want to examine it for depressive thinking patterns, and we will want to "challenge" it in order to test it's truthfulness.

Firstly, we will examine it for typical depressive thinking patterns. These are ways of "looking at" things (yourself, others Men's Air Max 2020 Shoes Black Cheap , and the world in general) that tend to generate depressive thought content. Common examples include "Negative Filtering" and "Discounting the Positive" - where a person will focus exclusively on the bad or unpleasant features of themselves, others or the world. Other examples are "Over-Generalising" (taking one comment or event as indicative of things in general), "Mind-Reading" (where you believe you know what someone is really thinking even if they deny it), "Catastrophising" (assuming the very worst in a given situation) and "Black or White Thinking" (assuming that something is either all-good or all-bad, and that there is no in-between these two extremes).

In the example NAT I gave earlier Cheap Air Tuned Max Men's , we might say that there are several depressive thought patterns evident. I'd say the person was showing patterns of "Mind-Reading" (she knows what her partner really means), "Over-Generalising" (does he really say these things all the time?), and "Black or White Thinking" (he's right and I am stupid).

Identifying these depressive thought patterns allows us to become our own critics - not of ourselves but of our thinking habits. It is common to find that a person will show the same few thinking habits again and again in all areas of life. By being aware that you are (for example) in the habit of Catastrophising and Mind-Reading means that you can pull yourself up when you find yourself doing it. The next time someone passes an ambiguous (to you at least) comment in your hearing, you will be able to take a moment to remind yourself that you tend to "Mind-Read", and that you don't actually know for sure what he or she means - the comment may not necessarily be bad Cheap VaporMax Plus Men's , or even about you at all. And the next time you're having a tough time at work, you'll remember that you're in the habit of "Catastrophising", and that work won't necessarily keep getting worse and worse. It may even improve! Such awareness of our thinking habits can protect us against developing emotional problems.

In addition to identifying our negative thought patterns, we will want to challenge the NATs themselves.
