What is "catch it, check it, change it" an example of?

"Catch it, check it, change it" is a cognitive-behavioral strategy designed to help individuals identify and alter negative thought patterns. The first step, "catch it," involves recognizing a negative thought as it occurs. The second step, "check it," encourages individuals to analyze the thought critically, assessing its validity and the evidence that supports or contradicts it. Finally, "change it" refers to the process of replacing the negative thought with a more positive or realistic one. This approach is particularly effective in combating negative self-talk by breaking down harmful cognitive processes and replacing them with thoughts that promote healthier self-perception and emotional well-being.

While the other options have relevance in different contexts of mental health and recovery, they do not specifically align with the structured process of identifying and modifying negative self-talk as clearly as this strategy does.
