This course is based on the principles of cognitive therapy, one of today’s most successful forms of psychotherapy. The emphasis is on examining thoughts and beliefs connected to our moods, behaviors, physical experiences, and to the events in our lives. A central idea in cognitive therapy is that our perception of an event or experience powerfully affects our emotional, behavioral, and physiological responses to it.
Mind Over Mood teaches methods that have been shown to be helpful with mood problems such as depression, anxiety, anger, panic, jealousy, guilt, and shame. The strategies taught in this course can also help you solve relationship problems, handle stress better, improve self-esteem, become less fearful and more confident. In short, these strategies provide structure that can help you proceed efficiently and rapidly in making changes in your personal and professional life.
