To counteract cognitive distortions, Beck developed a type of therapy formally known as cognitive therapy, which became associated with cognitive-behavioral therapy.[8] Emotional reasoning had been attributed to automatic thinking, but Beck believed that it stemmed from negative thoughts that were uncontrollable and happened without effort.[8] This reasoning has been commonly accepted over the years. Using a proactive, problem-focused coping style is more effective at reducing stress and deterring stressful events.[10] Additionally, having good social support also leads to lower psychological stress.[10] If an individual chooses to seek professional help, a psychologist will often use cognitive-behavioural therapy to teach the patient how to challenge their cognitive distortions, including emotional reasoning. Cognitive schemas is one of the factors to cause emotional reasoning. "Emotional Intelligence."
