28 Feb Cognitive Behavioural Therapy: Is It Right for Me?

Cognitive behavioural therapy is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on changing unhealthy behaviours and thoughts. CBT has been shown to be an effective treatment for many mental health conditions, such as depression and anxiety disorders. CBT can help people with these problems identify the unhelpful thoughts they have about themselves, others, and the world around them. CBT also teaches people how to change those negative thoughts into more positive ones by modifying their behaviour in response to those thoughts. CBT helps teach patients skills like cognitive restructuring (changing the way we think), exposure (facing what we fear), and social skills training (learning new ways of dealing with other people).
