Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT is based on a simple idea: the way you think affects the way you feel and act. By identifying unhelpful thought patterns — catastrophizing, all-or-nothing thinking, mind-reading — and testing them against reality, you can change how you feel. It's structured, practical, and usually time-limited.
How it works
You'll work with your therapist to spot specific thought patterns, challenge them with evidence, and practice new behaviors between sessions. Homework is common — worksheets, thought records, small experiments in daily life.
