What Is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy? 

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps people learn how to identify and change destructive or disturbing thought patterns that have a negative influence on behaviour and emotions. The goal of cognitive behaviour therapy is to teach people that while they cannot control every aspect of the world around them, they can take control of how they interpret and deal with things in their environment.

CBT is used to treat a wide range of conditions including:

• Addiction
• Anger issues
• Anxiety
• Bipolar disorder
• Depression
• Eating disorders
• Panic attacks
• Personality disorders
• Phobias
• Chronic pain or serious illnesses
• Divorce or break-ups
• Grief or loss
• Insomnia
• Low self-esteem
• Relationship problems
• Stress management
