Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of proactive psychotherapy that is useful for those seeking a pragmatic, interactive and short-term approach to recurring, easily identifiable problems.
CBT helps to identify negative or erroneous thought patterns, so that they can be challenged and replaced by more realistic and healthy perspectives.
CBT helps us learn to ignore this insidious, self-critical voice inside us.
In cognitive-behavioral therapy, the psychologist helps you identify your negative and sometimes distorted thought patterns. When you catch yourself having a negative or unrealistic thought, you learn to question and reframe it. The aim is to understand how your thoughts influence your emotions and actions, and then to teach you tools to break harmful cycles and develop more positive ways of functioning.

Benefits of CBT
In CBT, the focus is on your current experience, but the effects of your past experiences are also studied. It is a brief therapy, limited to a few sessions, the duration of which varies according to the severity of your symptoms and your recovery goals.
