What is undoing, as described in the text?

A form of cognitive behavioral therapy
Using words or actions to reverse negative thoughts
A type of antidepressant medication
A stage of grief

The correct answer is: Using words or actions to reverse negative thoughts

Undoing is the act of using words or actions to reverse negative thoughts. This could mean apologizing after making a mistake, countering negative self-talk with positive affirmations, or taking action to right a wrong. Option A is incorrect because cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a therapeutic approach that aims to change negative patterns of thinking and behavior, but it is not specifically focused on "undoing". Option C is incorrect because antidepressant medication is used to treat depression and other mental health conditions, but it does not involve the concept of "undoing". Option D is incorrect because stages of grief refer to the different emotional and psychological processes that someone may go through after experiencing a loss, and "undoing" is not recognized as one of these stages.
