The authors highlight the significance of tools as specific procedures, often visual, that help individuals change their mental states immediately. This approach fills the gap left by traditional therapy, which may leave patients without practical strategies for managing their thoughts and emotions. The authors emphasize that tools empower individuals to confront fears and take active control of their mental wellbeing.
