Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on our
feelings in relationship to our thinking and how we react to that
situation. It is based on the belief that our thoughts produce the
negative feelings, not the events or people involved. Many of our
thoughts, feelings, and reactions can be learned reactions to situations or
people, or they may be based on the “stories” we tell ourselves, and some
may even be based on our own beliefs about ourselves. Talk therapy and at
times homework can help in making positive changes.
CBT explores the root of dysfunctional beliefs, tests the reality, and helps you make changes in your daily life. CBT helps to modify your beliefs therefore your reactions that result from them will improve.
Clinical research has shown that CBT can help many people with a wide variety of issues in a short period of time. You will find through therapy, awareness, and practice, your dysfunctional behaviors will decrease therefore improving your quality of life.
