Answer: C
'Automatic thoughts' is a term from cognitive behaviour therapy.
Aaron Beck described automatic thoughts as quick, spontaneous evaluations that pop into the mind in response to situations, such as 'I always fail'. In depression and anxiety they are often distorted and negative. Cognitive therapy teaches clients to notice these thoughts, test them against evidence and replace them with more balanced ones.
Mindfulness-based approaches teach non-judgemental awareness of thoughts rather than identifying automatic thoughts as such. Hypnotherapy uses trance and suggestion. Dialectical behaviour therapy, though rooted in CBT, is known for its emphasis on acceptance and emotion regulation, not for this term.
