Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a short-term, problem-focused form of behavioral treatment that helps people see the difference between beliefs, thoughts and feelings, and free them from unhelpful patterns of behavior. It is grounded in the belief that it is a person’s perception of events – rather than the events themselves – that determines how they feel and act in response. CBT can help with:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Panic attacks
- Phobias
- Obsessive compulsive disorders (OCD)
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Persistent pain
- Disordered eating
- Sexual issues
- Anger management issues
Reshape Unhelpful Thoughts
With CBT, you’ll be able to adjust the thoughts that directly influence your emotions and behavior. This adjustment process is referred to as cognitive reconstructing.
Build Effective Skills Through Various Techniques
Some CBT techniques include journaling, challenging beliefs, relaxation, meditation, mindfulness, social, physical and thinking exercises, etc.
Realize Your Goals Through Structured Treatment
Cognitive behavioral therapy is much more than sitting and talking about whatever comes to mind during a session. CBT sessions are structured to ensure that the therapist and the person in treatment are focused on the different goals of each session, which in turn ensures that each and every session is productive.
