Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Thinking is feeling. If you can change how you think you can improve how you feel.
CBT is based on several core principles, including:
-
Psychological problems are based, in part, on faulty or unhelpful ways of thinking.
-
Psychological problems are based, in part, on learned patterns of unhelpful behavior.
-
People suffering from psychological problems can learn better ways of coping with them, thereby relieving their symptoms and becoming more effective in their lives.
CBT treatment usually involves efforts to change thinking patterns. These strategies might include:
-
Learning to recognize one's distortions in thinking that are creating problems, and then to reevaluate them in light of reality.
-
Gaining a better understanding of the behavior and motivation of others.
-
Using problem-solving skills to cope with difficult situations.
-
Learning to develop a greater sense of confidence is one's own abilities. (apa.org)
