What is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy?
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, also known as CBT, is focused on the here-and-now, time-set and goal-oriented with problem-solving. CBT teaches individuals specific skills in identifying thinking errors and modifying beliefs and changing behaviours.
What are the benefits of this type of therapy?
• You learn to think and believe more rationally, instead of allowing negative automatic thoughts and feelings to control your thoughts
• You learn to develop different strategies, one of which is to replace unhelpful thinking patterns with more realistic, alternative thoughts which will enable you to think more rationally and thereby reduce emotional distress
• As you feel more in control of your thoughts, your belief system about yourself changes which influence positive behavioural changes
• Behaviour changes occur when we become aware of negative thoughts
