CBT has been growing a lot around the world, due to the practical treatment approach and the excellent results it has achieved. Among several techniques used by psychologists who practice CBT, one of the most commonly used techniques is the Dysfunctional Thinking Record. And that's what Cogni is for! It works like this: Whenever you feel some remarkable emotion, you take note of the situation that caused it, as well as the thoughts you had at the time and the actions you took as a result of this emotion.

Even if you do not have a psychologist or do not yet do therapy, recording your thoughts can be very helpful as a way of self-learning. And perhaps one day you decide to consult a psychologist, you will have a rich history that your therapist can use to guide you! You will learn to know yourself better and control your emotions better, achieving a more balanced and happy life!
