What is cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)?

Cognitive-behavioral therapy is a type of therapy that focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is based on the idea that negative thoughts and beliefs can lead to negative emotions and behaviors. CBT works to identify and change these negative patterns by challenging and changing irrational thoughts and beliefs, and replacing negative behaviors with positive ones. This therapy is often used to treat a variety of mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder. It is short-term, goal-oriented, and can be done in individual or group settings.
