Understand What Therapy Actually Is...

Hello everyone.. Hope you all are well and safe in this challenging time. We all know that this is a difficult time we are facing and due this pandemic & lockdowns we are stuck at home. These challenging situations have created many issues in our lives. And mental health issues have increased too. As many of us are seeking professional help, or many of us not seeking, we should know about therapy.

Cognitive psychology: the future of the field of psychology

Cognitive psychology is a fascinating field that explores how the mind processes and interprets information. Cognition is defined as the mental activity that goes on in the brain when a person is processing information- organizing it, understanding it, and communicating it to others, this process is called the mediational process. It's amazing to think about how our brains can perceive, analyze, and store vast amounts of data. Through the study of cognitive psychology, we can gain a better understanding of how we learn, remember, and think.  Dating back to the field of psychology, it can be seen that the field of psychology has been specifically focused on behavior-oriented explanations. It focuses on the idea that all behaviors of individuals are learned through interactions with the environment.
