Maladaptive behaviors tend to stem from internal behaviors including thoughts, emotions, feelings, and beliefs. Distortions manifest whenever there is a disorder or maladaptation to internal and external stimuli or events. These impact or influence our internal behaviors and further affect how we respond or behave, which in turn affect how others respond to us. This is why it is crucial to gain insight and greater awareness of our thoughts, beliefs, and emotions and understand how these affect our behavior and how we act on our environments as well as the consequences or rewards we receive in return. This is the basis for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy modalities.
