What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?
Do you worry tirelessly about what others think of you?
Do you have difficulty enjoying life because you’re focused on all the ways things could go wrong?
Do you often feel overwhelmed or out of control?
If any of this sounds familiar, cognitive behavioral therapy techniques may be a good fit for you.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a type of therapy that focuses on helping people to change the negative thoughts and behaviors that are contributing to their distress.
CBT has been shown to be effective in treating a variety of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, and OCD.
Benefits of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
What to Expect from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive behavioral therapy typically consists of weekly, 45-minute sessions.
During CBT, you will work with your therapist to identify and challenge the negative thoughts and beliefs that are causing you distress. You will also learn new skills for managing your symptoms and improving your overall well-being.
CBT is an active form of therapy, which means that you will be expected to participate in homework assignments between sessions.
These assignments may include keeping a journal, practicing new skills, and completing exposure exercises.
Your homework will be tailored to your specific needs and goals. For example, if you are struggling with anxiety, your therapist may assign you exposure exercises to help you confront your fears in a safe and controlled way.
