Afifa’s Reviews > Life Coaching: A Cognitive-Behavioural Approach > Status Update

Learned about three causes of depression
1. Self blame: continually criticising or despising yourself for your failures and setbacks in life
2. Self pity: feeling sorry for yourself over the misfortunes in your life
3. Other pity: feeling sorry for the woes of others

Anxiety is based on future-oriented thinking that encompasses themes of damger or threat where you will be vulnerable in some way.
