WHAT IS.... Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)?

Tanulata-ossisto08 Jul, 2022Health

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is a therapeutic model where the therapist and client work together to identify and change problematic behaviours, thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations. The term ?cognitive? refers to thinking processes, including perception, judgement, reasoning, and memories. The term ?behavioural? refers to the things we do, or don?t do. In Cognitive Behavioural Therapy the focus is on the way in which our thinking processes affect our feelings and our behaviour. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps us to understand how our thinking affects our feelings and how this might impact the choices we make in life. ??When we experience challenges in our lives, it can be difficult to know what to do or how to cope. Psychotherapists can help us learn how to manage these challenges by helping us understand patterns in our thoughts and behaviours.
