Cognitive behavioral therapy allows you to change negative thoughts and behaviors directly with evidence-based techniques. During therapy, you’ll learn how to apply and practice these techniques, giving you the tools for managing symptoms long after treatment ends. Techniques include:
Cognitive Restructuring: Identifying, challenging, and replacing negative thought patterns.
Relaxation Techniques: Deep breathing and mindfulness exercises to manage anxiety and promote calm.
Successive Approximation: Learning to break down complex tasks into smaller manageable steps.
Behavioral Activation: Scheduling and engaging in activities that bring pleasure and a sense of accomplishment, such as hobbies or volunteer groups.
Skills Training: Working directly on strengths and skills you’re good at to promote confidence and build self-esteem.
