Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a type of therapy that considers the connection between a thought and a behavior.
CBT helps you become aware of inaccurate or negative thinking so you can view challenging situations more clearly and respond to them in an effective way.
Some CBT strategies could incorporate assistance with problem solving skills, facing one’s fears, learning to calm one’s body, and developing a greater sense of one’s capabilities and overall confidence in self.
CBT is individualized for each person. As a client, you will work together with your therapist to identify intrusive thought patterns and behaviors that tend to reinforce these beliefs. You will then work with your therapist to design a treatment plan that targets specific goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy relies on the client to participate in “homework” consistently to help make desired changes in their life, with a focus on moving forward.
CBT is often used to treat a range of challenges like increased stress, relationship conflicts, grief and loss, medical illness, chronic pain, symptom management, and symptom relapse.
