Why Do We Struggle with Negative Emotions?

Have you ever had moments like these?

  • You try your best, but still wonder: “Am I just not good enough?”
  • One small mistake makes you feel like a total failure.
  • You want to change, but you keep delaying, and days go by.

These feelings are more than just mood swings. Often, they come from the way we think.

What CBT Framework Is About

The CBT Framework, also known as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (ABC Model also belongs to this), is a simple and practical framework that helps you understand the link between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
