Cognitive-behavioral therapy, or CBT, is a type of therapy that involves talking to a therapist and working with them to solve your problems. You have a specific number of sessions that you will attend, and those sessions will consist of a structure that is customized to you and your needs. You will be able to develop an awareness of your thoughts, and you will learn to identify which thoughts are negative and inaccurate so that you may change those thoughts and learn how to properly respond to them in an accurate and effective way.
You will first learn to focus on the negative thoughts that you have so that you may rid yourself of them. It is common for the normal person to have such thoughts. You may think of yourself lowly, see the world in a more negative way, or fail to see the positive aspects of certain situations. You will learn what sorts of negative thoughts you have. You may also see which thoughts of yours are inaccurate, faulty, or unhelpful. These thoughts will taint your happiness or success, as they portray an inaccurate view of the world around you.
You will also learn how to recognize your behavior. You may have learned some ineffective ways to deal with certain situations. These ways of responding are not helpful, so you will learn more effective ways to behave instead of responding in an inaccurate way. We often learn from others, and we may not have had the best influences to base our behavior on. It's also possible for you to learn how to better cope with any psychological problems that you may have. This can really help your mental health and help you to live a better life.
CBT will try to focus on changing your patterns of thoughts. You can start to recognize which thoughts are distorted and how they create problems and you will learn how to think more realistically. You may understand how others think and act so that you may apply it to yourself. You can learn more effective ways of solving problems, as well as how to properly cope with situations. CBT can also help you to become more confident in yourself. Of course, different strategies will be used for different individuals. Everyone has their own way of thinking and acting.
