**Cognitive Therapy **

The difference between giving a good show and having a good show is highlighted, along with the importance of cognitive therapy in managing dark spirals of thought. Cognitive therapy emphasizes the impact of thoughts on emotions and encourages individuals to challenge their negative thoughts by creating a checklist and responding to them after a brief period of time. This process helps in realizing the irrationality of negative thoughts and provides a clearer perspective on one's accomplishments and abilities.
