Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
We sometimes perceive situations with a faulty or unhelpful mindset. This can cause great harm to our mental well-being. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps to recognize distortions in one’s thinking that may create problems, by re-framing one’s thinking and behavioral patterns. There are many methods that can be used in practice to challenge thought distortions with the help of a therapist. Depending on one’s ability to adapt to the methods, an individual can soon be their own therapist by implementing specific tools in their toolbox to combat negative belief systems. These tools can decrease depression, anxiety disorder, alcohol and drug use problems, marital problems, and other severe mental health issues.
