What is CBT?

Cognitive Behavior Therapy approaches the way people perceive a situation as more closely connected to their reaction than to the situation itself. CBT helps people to change unhelpful thinking, worry thoughts, and their resulting behaviors. It uses a number of tools to bring about these changes. Much of the therapy work is focused on how the person misinterprets their actions and those of others and gives them tools to alter their way of thinking and problem solve more useful ways of looking at the situation. This often leads to improving their mood and ability to enjoy their lives and being in the world.

CBT is extremely useful in assisting people with anxiety, various mood disorders, phobias and obsessive-compulsive disorders.
