Studies like Hofmann (2012), support subconscious reprogramming, showing CBT effectively alters self-defeating behaviors. Meditation and hypnosis also show neurological changes, enhancing positive thought patterns. https://t.co/RiKXLDYpTc https://t.co/mEJyupPYsQ

@NicolasPineda86 @DavidRoldanP Sobre la eficacia de la TCC, la evidencia no sólo es muy fuerte para múltiples problemas (sobre todo ansiedad y depresión), sino que tampoco es cierto que no pueda tener efectos a largo plazo, incluso si se combina con tratamiento farmacológico: https://t.co/BIG3CuZ21V
