What is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) ?

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a widely used and evidence-based form of psychotherapy that focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. The idea is that how we think about situations affects how we feel and behave and that by identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns, we can improve our emotional well-being. It involves, identifying negative or distorted thinking patterns, learning to challenge and reframe these thoughts with more realistic, balanced perspectives, developing healthy coping skills and behavior strategies (e.g., relaxation and self care techniques) and practicing these skills both in and outside therapy sessions (homework is often part of CBT). CBT can help with Anxiety, Depression, Panic attacks, OCD, Stress management, Low self-esteem and Insomnia.
