What is Cognitive Behaviour Therapy?

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy teaches us how to understand the relationship between incoming thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. By distinguishing between our thoughts and feelings and challenging our thoughts, we allow our feelings to change.

How we THINK "cognitive" about events has a powerful influence on how we FEEL about them and then what we DO ("behaviour") about them. It focuses to improve the "here and now"
and moving forward, rather than emphasising the causes of distress or symptoms of the past.

CBT has become a clinically and research proven breakthrough in mental health care.

All stress related issues....
PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)
Trauma & Abuse
Obsessions and compulsions (OCD)
Personality disorders
Schizophrenia
Anger, Sadness, Fear, Guilt, Hurt
Low self esteem
Insomnia
Panic & Anxiety
Eating disorders
Sports performance & performance anxieties

How does it work?

CBT helps to make sense of overwhelming problems by breaking them down into
'bite-size pieces,' making them easier to 'digest' and release.

Situations (difficult problem or events) are followed by
Thoughts
Emotions/physical symptoms
Behaviours

CBT helps to break vicious circles of thought, feelings and behaviour, allowing us to see all parts of the sequence clearly and change them, thereby enabling us to regain self-empowerment to tackle and resolve our problems.

CBT is an active therapy: The therapist and the client both take an active part in helping to resolve the client's issues. A flexible treatment plan is worked out to reflect the client's needs.

Past -vs- present and future:
Whilst focusing on the past is taken into account, CBT is more present-centred and forward looking than some other more traditional techniques.
