Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sally is using cognitive restructuring, which involves identifying and changing negative or irrational thoughts that contribute to problem behavior, such as overeating. She recognizes that stress is a trigger for her to overeat, and instead of immediately turning to ice cream, she is reframing her thought process and recognizing that overeating is not a solution for her stress.
