Therapy Quote by Heather Moehn
““ Behavioral Therapy Behavioral therapy differs dramatically from classical psychoanalysis. Instead of dealing with an individual’s thoughts, feelings, and past experiences, it focuses solely on the specific behaviors that are causing problems. Behavioral therapists believe that all behaviors are learned and that you can relearn and replace maladaptive behaviors with more appropriate ones.””
