What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?
CBT is a short-term, goal-oriented therapy focusing on the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. By recognizing and reshaping unhelpful thought patterns, CBT helps you approach challenges with greater confidence and clarity.
Core Elements of CBT:
- Thought Awareness: Understand how negative thought patterns influence emotions and actions.
- Cognitive Restructuring: Challenge and replace distorted thoughts with constructive alternatives.
- Skill Development: Build practical strategies to manage anxiety and stress effectively.
- Action-Oriented Focus: Align behaviors with personal goals and values to promote growth.
CBT provides a structured, collaborative framework that fosters meaningful and lasting change.
