Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
What is Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)?
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is an effective treatment for many types of emotional and mental health concerns, such as depression and anxiety. CBT aims to help you identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts whilst implementing practical self-help strategies to foster positive changes in your life. CBT is based on the understanding that thinking negatively is habitual, and just like any other habit, can be broken.
Who can benefit from CBT?
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy can benefit anyone who needs support to challenge unhelpful thoughts that may prevent them from living the life they want to live. CBT can be used to treat a range of psychological concerns including:
𓇣 Generalised anxiety
𓇣 Social anxiety
𓇣 Depression
𓇣 Phobias
𓇣 Anger
𓇣 Sexual dysfunction
𓇣 Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
𓇣 Hypochondria
𓇣 Panic attacks
𓇣 Low self-esteem
𓇣 Somatic disorders
𓇣 Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
How does CBT work?
The primary focus of CBT is to change unhelpful or unhealthy thoughts and behaviours. It is a combination of two therapies: ‘cognitive therapy’ and ‘behaviour therapy’.
Cognitive therapy
The aim of cognitive therapy is to change the way you think about an issue that’s causing concern. Negative thoughts often lead to self-destructive feelings and behaviours. You might think that you are unworthy of love, which may lead to you feeling more withdrawn in social situations. Cognitive therapy helps you challenge those negative thoughts and provides you with practical self-help strategies to address them.
Behaviour therapy
Behaviour therapy teaches you techniques or skills to alter your behaviour. For example, your psychologist may teach you conversational skills that you practise in therapy and in social situations. Negative thoughts and feelings reduce as you discover you can enjoy yourself in social situations.
