Understanding Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive behavioral therapy is a goal-oriented, systematic form of psychotherapy that addresses problematic thoughts and behaviors. This method emphasizes the importance of understanding how our thoughts influence mood and activities. It teaches individuals how to identify, challenge, and replace their negative thoughts with more realistic and positive ones to change their behavior over time and find lasting relief.
CBT has been proven effective in treating a wide range of mental health issues, particularly those related to emotional challenges and behavioral problems. Some of the conditions CBT is commonly used to treat include:
- Insomnia and other sleep disorders
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
- Eating disorders, like anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder
- Anxiety disorders, like social anxiety disorder and generalized anxiety disorder
