By definition, CBT:
“Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)” is a short-term, goal-oriented psychotherapy treatment that takes a hands-on, practical approach to problem-solving. Its goal is to change patterns of thinking or behavior that are behind people’s difficulties, and so change the way they feel. It is used to help treat a wide range of issues in a person’s life, from sleeping difficulties or relationship problems to drug and alcohol abuse or anxiety and depression. CBT works by changing people’s attitudes and their behavior by focusing on the thoughts, images, beliefs, and attitudes that are held (a person’s cognitive processes) and how these processes relate to the way a person behaves, as a way of dealing with emotional problems.”
In 2017, I received a book as a gift “Karl Blossfeldt: The Complete Published Work”, by a german photographer, who focuses on micro photography of plants and seeds.
The images of the book produce a sort of phobia, close to the definition of Trypophobia. Accidentally, I realized that by placing some geometric figures over the pictures, it helped me deal with the uncomfortable sensation. For that, I resorted to a series of pre-composed harmonies from a Benjamin Moore catalogue.
The taxonomic series proposes the use of geometric abstraction as a sort of medicine for or stress reliever from that suffering.
