CBT is an evidence-based psychotherapy approach that addresses the interconnection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is based on the premise that our thoughts and perceptions influence our emotions and behaviors, and that by changing maladaptive patterns of thinking and behavior, we can improve our mental health and well-being.
Techniques such as identifying cognitive distortions, challenging negative thoughts, and reframing irrational beliefs are commonly used to promote more balanced and realistic thinking.
Clients are encouraged to test out new behaviors and beliefs in real-life situations to gather evidence and challenge their existing assumptions.
In cases of anxiety disorders or phobias, gradual exposure to feared stimuli or situations is used to reduce anxiety and promote desensitization.
Techniques such as deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, and mindfulness meditation are utilized to help clients manage stress and reduce physiological arousal.
