Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a clinically and research-proven therapy for self-improvement and mental health problems. CBT can help people to change how they think (“Cognitive”) and what they do (“Behaviour”), which can be an effective tool for people suffering from mental health problems.
Behaviour therapy helps people reduce the connections between difficult situations and their normal reactions to them, such as fear, depression or rage, and self- defeating or self-damaging behaviour. It also teaches them how to calm the mind and body, so they can feel better, think more clearly, and make better decisions.
Cognitive therapy teaches people how certain thinking patterns cause symptoms by giving a distorted picture of what's going on in their life making them feel anxious, depressed or angry. When combined into CBT, behaviour therapy and cognitive therapy provide very powerful tools for stopping these symptoms and getting life onto a more satisfying track.
