Very often, our mood and idea of the world depends on the so-called automatic thoughts. Automatic thoughts (AM) is thought to arise in the mind without our planning and intentions. Often we are not even aware of our automatic thoughts. Make a conscious automatic thoughts – I believe – a great achievement for a man. But whence come these ideas? After all, to make them aware you need to understand the cause and source of these thoughts … 'Roots' AM are much deeper – it's basic assumptions (AI), and deeper, fundamental beliefs.
