What is cognitive behavioral therapy

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a structured, goal-oriented type of psychotherapy (talk therapy).

Mental health professionals, including psychologists, therapists and counselors, use it to treat or manage mental health conditions and emotional concerns. It’s one of the most common and best-studied forms of psychotherapy.

CBT is based on several core principles, including:

  • Psychological issues are partly based on problematic or unhelpful patterns of thinking.
  • Psychological issues are partly based on learned patterns of unhelpful behavior.
  • Psychological issues are partly based on problematic core beliefs, including central ideas about yourself and the world.
  • People experiencing psychological issues can learn better ways of coping with them. This can help relieve their symptoms and improve their mental and emotional health.

How CBT work?

  • Gain an understanding of the issue: At the start of therapy, you’ll discuss challenges you’re dealing with, symptoms you’ve noticed and any concerns you have. If you’ve been diagnosed with a mental health condition, tell your therapist. This important first step will help you set goals for your therapy.
  • Ask a series of questions: Depending on your situation, your therapist may ask you questions. You might discuss an incident in your past, fears or phobias, troubling behaviors or your thoughts and feelings. Together, you’ll explore your answers so you can gain insight into how you respond to challenges in your life.
  • Help you recognize problematic thoughts and behaviors: Through interactive question-and-answer sessions, your therapist will encourage you to pay close attention to how you respond to tough situations. You’ll work together to identify unhealthy emotions, beliefs or behaviors that may be contributing to your troubles. Your therapist may ask you to keep a journal of these situations and your responses to them.
  • Work with you to adjust your thoughts and behaviors: Your therapist will help you find ways to change negative emotions, thoughts and habits. You can change your perspective and adopt positive thought patterns and behaviors. Then, you can apply those skills to future situations.
