What is a potential outcome of effective cognitive therapy for clients?

Effective cognitive therapy aims to help clients identify and change negative thought patterns and beliefs. A potential outcome of this therapeutic approach is improved positive self-affirmations. When clients engage in cognitive therapy, they learn to challenge irrational or harmful beliefs about themselves and their abilities. As a result, they can replace these negative thoughts with more constructive and positive self-affirmations, which can enhance their self-esteem and motivation.

This improvement supports not just mental well-being but also encourages adherence to positive health and nutrition behaviors, as clients begin to view themselves more positively and realize their potential for change. Consequently, clients may feel empowered to pursue their dietary goals and make healthier choices, reinforcing the benefits gained from cognitive therapy.
