Mental Health Monday: Thoughts, Emotions, Actions

The Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Triangle

In Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), people examine how their thoughts, emotions, and actions are connected. I like what my colleague says about this. Andrea Thomas, LLP, MA, Psychologist at the Henry Ford Comprehensive Epilepsy Center, shares,

“Our thoughts, feelings, and actions are all connected. If one isn’t feeling right or working in the way that we’d like it to, we can change one of them, and the others will shift too.”

This is true, but we rarely think about it.

Which of these do we want to shift?
Which of these do we need to shift?

How might that affect the whole?
