If you ask me, thoughts are really powerful. They dictate all most everything. If you ask me, it is more about thoughts. They represent covert behavior, life, etc.

Secondly, to answer your question " do you agree cognition is responsible for all bad actions we did in our life"? Well, my answer is YES
Although other factors like the environment and stuations normally mimic our actions, Thoughts play a bigger role because they are the origin. You think (thoughts) then you Act! Thats how the process works.
So, if we can change the thoughts then we can definitely change the behavior. In line with anxiety, once the person realize all the worries and fears are as a result of the negative thoughts, its possible they will fight against them with the help of CBT which can result into a good prognosis.

Yeah, I agree that cognition plays an important part in shaping our personality but also the situation we are in will also affect you a great way in shaping your personality and affecting your actions in general. For in many cases we will have thoughts based on our situation and it is certainly a great driving force behind our behaviour.Michael40 wrote: ↑22 Aug 2020, 16:34 According to personality experts, our personality do change a great deal over time. And when you talk about stuff like this, the cognitive aspect comes rather first. It is the covert behavior as cognitive psychologists now argue that it can be studied in that regard. And I think it is true. Having said that I think our thoughts can do more than what we can imagine to change our behaviors. I believe that many factors are involved, but cognitive factor will be predominant.

Natural impulses are something we develop out of habit. It is true that changing our thought process cannot alter our impulses but to a certain point can help contain them. Like if you have a bad habit, and someone points it out to you, you will try to change it which can affect your behaviour.lavenderbooks20 wrote: ↑22 Aug 2020, 19:47 I think there are many factors that affects behavior. It’s not only limited to cognition. Our natural impulses, for example, doesn’t simply change by conscious altering of our mindset.

Yes, CBT essentially helps you get a hold of your negative thoughts and think positively about them. Like when in traffic, you may choose to honk repeatedly(negative) or choose to do constructive work in that time(positive). It helps to keep your negative thoughts in check and can help an individual as long as they choose to remain positive.Joseph_ngaruiya wrote: ↑20 Aug 2020, 01:45Because CBT is focussed on changing the harmful and bad cognitive behavior, it's relatively has a higher possibility of preventing an individual from doing wrong.rahilshajahan wrote: ↑18 Aug 2020, 09:16If we are to make decisions when under stress, the teachings of CBT can actually hold true to a certain percentage.

Although there may be numerous external factors surrounding us, mindset, and personal interests play a bigger role in stress and anxiety.

One must make small and consistent efforts to truly see the change they want in themselves. And it's not going to be a smooth, clear-cut process either. There will be times when one will regress to old habits or stagnate, or maybe even develop new but unwanted behavior. Nevertheless, the efforts to be healthier and develop healthier methods of coping with stress and trauma should be consistent to bring about change.

Oftentimes, when I step in and ask what the matter is and how I can help, it turns out that majority of the thoughts fuelling his anxiety are originating from only his head; no proof whatsoever in the physical realities that his anxieties are founded.
I've since given up the speech on seeing things differently and thus, changing the way (or behavior) he'll have towards any actual incidents that happen, so I guess that for some people, CBT may not even come close to changing their behaviour.
Mostly because, they don't even agree that their thoughts may be unfounded and thus requires change.
For this my friend who will be anxious for most of his life, a change in the way he sees and perceives things will definitely go a long way in reducing his anxiety, because that is often the source, but how can that change even be achieved in the first place?

A FANTASTIC book that has to do with this (very interesting and SO TRUE!) is called “Our Thoughts Determine Our Lives.” I would highly recommend this to anyone, but especially people who are very interested in this question about cognitive behavior.
