According to cognitive behavioral therapy, people are disturbed not by an event but by the perception of the event. Whenever and however a belief develops, the individual believes it. Work and practice can modify beliefs that create difficulties in living. This type of therapy is used to alter distorted beliefs and problem behaviors by identifying and replacing negative inaccurate thoughts and changing the rewards for behaviors.
