Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Understanding Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

If you are interested in pursuing CBT, it's important to understand what it is in a bit more depth. CBT has both cognitive and behavioral components. Cognitive therapy addresses the thinking that often underlies a wide variety of disorders. This therapy is frequently used to treat anxiety disorders, including OCD and PTSD, mood disorders, such as, Major Depressive Disorder, and insomnia. Sessions involve the patient talking about their challenges with a counselor, identifying negative, distorted, extreme or exaggerated thinking patterns. Modifying these ways of thinking helps people learn to view situations more realistically. The behavioral component is action oriented, and is based on the principles of behavioral psychology.
