Benefits of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

CBT is a private and supportive process, which can help people:

• Feel heard and validated, it can help them feel that their experiences, thoughts, and feelings matter

• Be encouraged and have their strengths, and choices acknowledged

• Identify goals and learn strategies to achieve them

• Heal emotionally if they have experienced a loss or traumatic event

• Gain valuable information and awareness about issues affecting their life

• Develop approaches to enjoy life and relations and handle problems better

As a psychotherapeutic approach, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps individuals learn new skills to deal with dysfunctional behaviours and emotions. This kind of therapy is used both for individuals and groups to train them in recovering from addiction, depression, panic attacks, anxiety disorder, and other phobias.

CBT Treatment: How it Works?

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

The recovering individual is given tasks and activities during the ongoing sessions to help them adopt appropriate coping skills and manage their emotions, thoughts and problematic behaviours. By these coping skills, the recovering individual learns to deal with the negative cycle of thoughts and unusual conditions that are causing them problems so that they 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 cases, CBT is beneficial for patients who suffer from various mental health disorders and depression as it poses lesser risks than antidepressants and other methods of psychotherapy.

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

All the sessions are strictly confidential, safe, and secure.

FAQs

Is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) effective?

As per experts, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) has been an effective psychotherapy treatment option for the last 5 decades in the area of mental health.

A good amount of research shows that CBT is relatively effective for producing change. 90% of the individuals believed that they were helped by CBT empirically. CBT can help people of all ages. The problem is that for a majority of people, this change is temporary and relapse into old behaviours is common.

Also, fairly common is that a CBT client develops a similar symptom in another area of their life. For example, you may overcome your fear of public speaking through CBT but develop a fear of socializing in groups.

How can Cognitive BehaviouralTherapy enhance your mental health?

CBT can improve your mental health in the following ways:

Provides an Effective Support Network

The best doctor for Cognitive Behavioural Therapy will provide you with an effective support network. This will include other patients who are recovering from mental health disorders. The therapy is action-based, and the patients are aware they have someone to turn to if they want to work through their problems.

Once they know that they have help and someone is interested in them, the recovery process is quicker. A good support system will allow patients to work on their negative behaviours and change them.

Raises Self-esteem

Many people feel that low self-esteem can be the root cause of cognitive behaviour disorder. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy allows patients to build their self-esteem by making them face their problems and coming to a solution. Once the patients find the answer, their self-esteem grows and they can overcome the disorder.

Creates Positive Thought

Negative thoughts are one of the root causes of most mental illnesses, and they can take over the patient’s life when not looked into. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps the patient understand the importance of converting negative thoughts into positive ones. They help patients think in a realistic manner.

Helps in Anger Management

Controlling your anger and learning to channel it in a positive manner can be challenging, and it’s a major issue in mental disorders. Patients tend to feel shame and guilt when they express their anger to others. CBT counselling helps address underlying issues that will allow you to control your emotions, and not let them overwhelm you. CBT teaches patients to recognize their triggers so that they know the reason behind their anger.

Develops Better Communication Skills

Maintaining relationships can be quite difficult if you are suffering from anxiety, depression, or addiction. Consulting a behaviour therapist will help the patients learn how to communicate with others without feeling scared or ashamed.
