The therapist and patient work on the problem to find a solution for it. The therapist asks the patient to rehearse positive thoughts in his/her mind; rehearsing positive thoughts helps in making appropriate changes to the patient's thought processes. The power of imagination proves to be of great help when you are doing such type of exercises. Validity Testing In this technique, validity of thoughts of the patient are tested by the therapist; the patient is allowed to defend his/her viewpoint with the help of an objective evidence. The faulty nature or invalidity of beliefs held by the patient is exposed if he/she is unable to produce any kind of objective evidence.
