What is Cognitive Behavioural Theory(C.B.T.)?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely used and effective form of psychotherapy that focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It helps individuals recognize and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to their problems. CBT is structured and goal-oriented, aiming to teach practical skills and strategies to manage symptoms and improve overall well-being.
In CBT, therapists work collaboratively with clients to identify specific goals and develop personalized treatment plans. Techniques used in CBT include cognitive restructuring (changing negative thought patterns), behavioral activation (engaging in positive activities), and learning coping skills (such as relaxation and problem-solving techniques). CBT is evidence-based and has been proven effective for treating various mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, and eating disorders. It empowers individuals to take an active role in their treatment and achieve lasting positive changes in their lives.
