Mr. Rodriguez is a firm believer in the power of positive thinking. He states “how we process thoughts on a daily basis translates into behaviors.” So focusing on positive thinking on a daily basis is essential to exhibiting positive behaviors. Inclusive in all his therapy sessions he teaches patients how to put into practice the power of positive thinking. He teaches nine positive affirmations from years of listening to patient’s real life experiences. Mr. Rodriguez’s philosophy is “we all have the power within us to create our own reality. We can create a negative reality for ourselves or a positive one.” The choice is ours. He has written two booklets on the subject. One for adults’ Spanish edition. One especially for children English edition that can be used to teach children to be positive thinkers.

As defined by the American Psychological Association, cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is a form of psychotherapy used by school psychologists to resolve disturbed emotions and dysfunctional behavior in students by acknowledging the role of human learning and the effects of the environment, cognitions, and language in disturbance. Negative thoughts affect feelings. Feelings affect choices. The outcomes of our choices reinforce thoughts. Thus the cycle continues. CBT aims to identify toxic thoughts at the root of our daily life that put us on an ill cycle.
Post-traumatic is defined by the US Mental Health Services Administration as a stress disorder (PTSD) that is real and develops when a person has experienced or witnessed a scary, shocking, terrifying, or dangerous event.
