Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT is a structured, goal-oriented type of talk therapy that guides people to see the difference between beliefs, thoughts and feelings. CBT is grounded in the belief that it is a person’s perception of events – rather than the events themselves – that determines how he or she will feel and act in response. The goal is to free an individual fromunhelpful thoughts and patterns of behavior.
During CBT, you will be guided to take a close look at your thoughts and emotions. You’ll come to understand how your thoughts affect your actions. Through CBT, you can unlearn negative thoughts and behaviors and learn to adopt healthier thinking patterns and habits.
