Identified structural overlap between the Stoic focus on controllable versus uncontrollable factors and modern cognitive restructuring techniques.
Showed that Stoic reflection on personal appraisals and inner posture directly mirrors clinical strategies designed to build resilience and regulate emotion in depressive states.
