Overview

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) can help an individual overcome their addiction in several ways such as – Helping individuals understand and challenge their distorted beliefs and thought patterns that lead to or perpetuate their addiction behaviour, Helping them learn different strategies that enhance their moods, Helping them enhance their communication and interpersonal skills, Helping them identify as well as manage their triggers. CBT helps an addicted individual first recognize what triggers them to engage in substance use, learn to avoid the situations or people who trigger them when possible or appropriate, and use techniques that help deal with the emotions and thoughts that lead them to engage in their addiction. Some examples of techniques used in CBT include – Thought Records. The client is asked to journal their negative automatic thoughts when they are triggered to engage in their addiction. Activity Scheduling. The client is encouraged to add enjoyable activities to their daily routine. Imagery Based Exposure. The client is encouraged to think about negative memories in details in their imagination in order to reduce the anxiety caused by them.
