COgnitive Behavioral THerapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on thoughts and cognitive schemas we have for life and investigating their usefulness and validity. CBT can be a helpful tool ― either alone or in combination with other therapies ― in treating depression or anxiety, by helping you identify and cope with specific challenges. Becoming more aware of inaccurate or negative thinking can change your viewpoint challenging situations more clearly and respond to them in a more effective way.
Extensive research on CBT has shown it to be empirically supported leading to significant improvement in functioning and quality of life. By exploring the links between thoughts, emotions and behavior, CBT offers a directive, time-limited, and structured approach to therapy.
