Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves exploring the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT often will require identifying and challenging certain unhelpful thinking patterns. The goal of CBT is to help you restructure some of these automatic negative thoughts, and get you on track to feeling better. CBT also includes exposure therapy. Exposure therapy is a technique used by therapists to help clients confront their fears.
