Why do you feel the way you do?

Let’s start with why you might feel bad.

According to Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, people feel emotionally bad for three reasons:

  • They have a negative view of themselves as people;
  • They interpret experiences in a negative and biased way; and
  • They have a negative view of the future – they expect everything to continue the way it is.

If this is true, this might also mean that happy people feel happy for the following reasons:

  • They have a positive view of themselves as people;
  • They interpret experiences in a positive and unbiased (or even positively biased) way; and
  • They have a positive view of the future, they expect everything to continue the way it is.
During therapy, Annie will help you to have a more positive view of yourself, interpret experiences in a positive way and have a positive view of the future.

It is not what happens to us, but how we react to it which will determine our feelings. As Shakespeare said "There is neither good nor ill but thinking makes it so". Here he recognised that it is one’s interpretations of events rather than the quality of the event that determines their emotional impact.

Thoughts become things, so think positively.
