What is CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)?

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapy that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress. The underlying principle of CBT is that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected, and that altering negative thought patterns can lead to changes in feelings and behaviors.

Here’s a brief overview of how CBT works:

  1. Identifying Negative Thoughts: The therapist helps the patient recognize distorted or unhelpful thoughts that contribute to their problems. These might include cognitive distortions like overgeneralization, catastrophizing, or black-and-white thinking.

  2. Challenging and Reframing Thoughts: The patient learns to challenge these negative thoughts and replace them with more balanced or realistic ones. This process involves evaluating the evidence for and against the negative thoughts and developing healthier ways of thinking.

  3. Behavioral Experiments: CBT often involves experimenting with new behaviors to see if they lead to different outcomes. This might include gradually facing feared situations or trying out new coping strategies.

  4. Skill Development: The therapy includes teaching practical skills for managing symptoms, such as problem-solving, relaxation techniques, and stress management.

  5. Goal Setting: Patients work with their therapist to set specific, measurable, and achievable goals for therapy, which helps track progress and maintain focus.

CBT is a structured, goal-oriented therapy that is typically short-term, with sessions usually held weekly or biweekly. It has been shown to be effective for a range of issues, including depression, anxiety disorders, stress, and more.
