What is Cognitive behavioral therapy?

In simple terms,

cognitive behavioral

therapy (CBT) addresses

negative patterns and

distortions in the way we

look at the world and

ourselves. As the name

suggests, this involves

two main components:

‘Cognitive’ therapy

examines how negative thoughts or cognitions contribute to a

negative emotion

‘Behavior’ therapy examines how you behave and react in

situations that trigger that negative emotion

The basic premise of cognitive behavioral therapy is that it’s

our thoughts or irrational beliefs – not external events – that

affect the way we feel. In other words, it’s not the situation that

determines how you feel, but your perception of the situation.

Your thoughts can block you seeing things that don’t fit in with

what you believe which can cause you problems if you continue

to hold on to them. CBT can help you to identify and challenge

any unhealthy beliefs whilst at the same time helping you to

identify and reinforce a series of more helpful and rational

beliefs – consequently changing the way you feel.

Common Problems

Cognitive behavioral therapy is one of the most widely-used

therapies and can be effective in the treatment of many

anxiety, depression, stress, phobias, anger management,

obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) eating problems, mood

swings, sexual and relationship problems and many other

conditions
