Counteracting in the psychology context refers to the process of taking actions or implementing strategies to neutralize, reduce, or reverse the effects of a negative thought, behaviour, emotion, or influence. This concept is often used in therapeutic settings to help individuals manage maladaptive behaviours, counterproductive thinking patterns, or emotional responses that negatively impact their mental health and well-being.
