Cognitive behavioral therapy
Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying & challenging negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to psychiatric and mental health issues. The underlying core principle of cognitive behavioral therapy is that our behaviors, thoughts, emotions, and feelings are interconnected, and altering one can lead to changes in the other. This therapy is goal-oriented and problem-focused, typically involving a collaborative effort between the therapist and the patient to set specific goals and develop strategies to achieve them. Cognitive behavioral therapy is used to manage a range of mental health disorders, including phobias, anxiety, depression, and stress, by helping individuals develop coping strategies and resilience. Through specialized techniques such as exposure therapy, cognitive restructuring, and skill training, CBT empowers individuals to change their thought patterns, reduce symptoms and improve quality of life.
