Cognitive behaviour therapy

A person’s perceptions such as thought, feeling and behaving are interconnected. And, when a person experiences emotional difficulties such as financial breakdowns, relationship issues, or any other mental health issues, It deceives them into a vicious cycle of negative biased thoughts. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) proposes to break those vicious cycle into small pieces and train the person to cope with the psychological issues by providing them with the necessary coping techniques.

CBT Treatment- How it works?

During the CBT Treatment, the person and the mental health adviser (psychotherapist or clinical psychologist) work mutually in a collaborative and structured manner involving several sessions to provide a clear guidance of the underlying problem and determine a custom CBT treatment strategy and appropriate coping skills.

The person is given tasks and activities during the ongoing sessions to help him/her improve appropriate coping skills and change their emotions, thinking problematic behaviour. By these coping skills, the person learns to deal with the negative cycle of thoughts and unusual conditions that are creating the issue so that he/ she can view challenging conditions more clearly and respond to them more productively.

The self-help sessions in such therapy programs help in understanding and overcoming various disorders and alleviating symptoms. In most of the cases, such CBT is beneficial for patients who suffer from various mental health disorders and depressions as it poses lesser risks than antidepressants and other methods of psychotherapy.

This therapy comes to play when a person consciously analyzes, interprets and manages his/her thoughts. As feelings and thoughts are interwoven, individuals find better control over their emotions. Anyone who wants to control the thought process can apply this technique and reap maximum benefits.
