What is CBT – Cognitive Behavior Therapy ?
Cognitive Behavior Therapy, also called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT, is a form of psychological therapy. Over recent years many research studies have shown CBT to be the most effective treatment for many psychological problems. For this reason CBT is sometimes referred to as “evidence-based psychology” or “evidence-based practice”, as in most cases the therapy techniques have been proven to be effective by research evidence.
CBT addresses the emotions, behavior, thoughts, and beliefs behind psychological difficulties. Unlike many counselling approaches, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on teaching individuals practical techniques to manage and overcome their psychological problems. Many different techniques are utilized depending on the types of problems a person is experiencing. Some examples of these techniques include: training in recognizing and challenging negative thoughts and beliefs, desensitization techniques, relaxation therapy, training in problem-solving approaches, etc.

CBT is also commonly used to help individuals with chronic pain, adjustment difficulties following the diagnosis of major illnesses or other life changes, irritable bowel syndrome, weight management, etc.

CBT is usually a short term treatment. Many individuals overcome their problems or experience significant improvements within 6 to 10 hours of therapy.
