How does cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) work and how can it help?
CBT is all about looking at the relationship between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is a very hands-on therapeutic intervention in that it requires the client and therapist to work together to identify existing cognitive distortions and develop strategies to challenge those thoughts. I think CBT is a very empowering intervention, as it puts the client back in the driver's seat of their own mind.
