Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT – Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between how we think about a situation (cognitions) and how this affects the way we act (Behaviours), and in turn how our actions can affect how we think and feel.
The aim of CBT is to help you to ‘catch’ unhelpful thoughts and notice thought patterns that cause you distress and upset, consider alternative thoughts, and change the way you respond to situations so that the outcome is more positive or effective.
CBT is a collaborative therapy; you come to therapy as the expert in your own experiences and the therapist works with you to help apply CBT ideas and tools to your difficulties to help you overcome them.
