Im confused , i just started CBT and i think i can see my thoughts changing to more rational. but ACT stuff seems top of the line. so can i work both at the same time? what should i do-
Cognitive: Everytime you get a negative thought, cut it down with a rational statement and you'll break the cycle down fast till it has no power over you and shrinks...
Behavioural: get out, stay out, join groups, clubs, teams, plays, etc... "however you feel, get up, dress up and show up" People are nicer than you think, rediscover this and stay active and go to as many social activities as you can... this is the essence of confidence..
