What is CBT?

CBT is a psychotherapy that can help one manage one's problems by changing the way one thinks and behaves. The therapy is based on the concept that our thoughts, feelings, physical sensations and actions are interconnected, and that negative thoughts and feelings can trap us in a vicious cycle.

CBT aims to help one deal with overwhelming problems in a more positive way by breaking them down into smaller parts. In CBT a person is shown how to change these negative patterns to improve the way they feel. Unlike some other talking therapies, CBT deals primarily with your current problems, rather than overly focusing on issues from your past. It looks for practical ways to improve your state of mind on a daily basis.

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy is based on the belief that most unhealthy ways of thinking and behaving have been learned over a long period of time. Using a set of structured techniques, a CBT therapist aims to identify how a person is thinking and how this can cause problematic feelings and behaviour. The person then learns to change this way of thinking. This helps them to react more positively, which boosts their self-esteem and confidence. Once someone is thinking more realistically, they would be encouraged to imagine how they might go about confronting a feared situation.
