CBT Information
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or 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 behavior patterns. CBT is grounded in the belief that a person’s perception of events – rather than the events themselves – determines how they will feel and act in response.
CBT can help with the following issues:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Panic Attacks
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- Sexual Issues
If any of the above issues resonate, I encourage you to try CBT. Most people with clearly defined behavioral and emotional concerns tend to reap the benefits of CBT. With CBT, you’ll be able to adjust the thoughts that directly influence your emotions and behavior. This adjustment process is called cognitive reconstructing, and it involves different CBT techniques.
Some CBT techniques are:
- Journalling
- Challenging Beliefs
- Relaxation
- Meditation
- Mindfulness
- Social, Physical, and Thinking Exercises
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 every session is productive.
