Behavioral and Social/ Cognitive Approaches to Forming Habits
Current is only one behavior that comes to mind that every person experiences at some point or another in his or her lives.

There are several therapy theories that one can approach in order to deal with stress, but the tactic one will like to focus on is the cognitive behavioral therapy.
