What is CBT?

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapy that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. It is based on the idea that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected and that changing negative thought patterns can lead to changes in feelings and behaviors.

CBT is commonly used to treat a wide range of mental health conditions, including:

– Depression

– Panic Anxiety disorders

– Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

– Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)

– Eating disorders

– Substance abuse

– ⁠Social Anxiety disorder

Therapists use various techniques in CBT, such as cognitive restructuring, exposure therapy, and skill-building exercises, to help individuals develop healthier ways of thinking and coping. Sessions are typically structured and goal-oriented, with a focus on current problems and finding practical solutions.
