Alternative

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy（CBT）can help individuals identify and challenge their negative thoughts and develop alternative, balanced, and often more-realistic perspectives (thinking, for example, “Some people might find what I have to say interesting” or “It’s OK to make mistakes”). At the same time, CBT encourages people to gradually challenge themselves by facing triggering social situations, allowing them to experience new thought patterns and behaviors and thereby gain confidence. By addressing the cognitive and behavioral aspects together rather than in isolation, individuals can experience an improvement in their mood and physiological states, ultimately reducing anxiety and enhancing emotional well-being.
