When I initially visited a therapist, I have to admit that it was a very challenging undertaking, but when looking at this therapy in more depth I noticed that many of the methods he used on me were from a cognitive point of view. While any type of therapy or theory about it works for some and not for others, it depends on how much you dedicate to improving yourself, regardless of which theory the therapist has chosen to work with. While it might work for some in theory, it might not work for others. But with this kind of theory and techniques applied I found it quite helpful during my time of depression. I can say that when I applied those techniques, such as thought recording that I was told to help with my negative thoughts, it gave me the insight I needed to get out of that kind of mental structure. This theory promotes a positive mindset. Which I think is a great way to approach problems. I also like this theory because it focuses strictly on thoughts and why you have them. To me this theory makes the most logical sense as far as helping someone who is depressed or has anxiety and has been shown to be effective in treating those areas unlike some other theories such as the psychoanalyst one which looks too much into the past. I find this theory focuses on the future, which can be helpful when someone dwells on the past like I did. Like I said, not all theories work for someone, each has its own pitfalls and
