Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely used form of psychotherapy that focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. The core idea is that negative thought patterns can lead to distressing emotions and unhelpful behaviors. In CBT, therapists work with clients to identify and challenge these negative thoughts and beliefs, and to replace them with more realistic and positive ones.
CBT is structured, goal-oriented, and often short-term, with clients practicing new skills and techniques during and between sessions. It is effective for a range of mental health issues, including depression, anxiety disorders, phobias, and PTSD. By changing the way people think and behave, CBT helps them develop healthier coping mechanisms and improve their overall well-being.
Exposure Therapy
(For bodily cues and health concerns)
Exposure therapy is a psychological treatment that helps people confront and reduce their fear or anxiety. It involves gradually exposing them to the feared object, situation, or memory, either in real life or through imagination. This repeated exposure helps decrease their anxiety response over time. It's commonly used to treat anxiety disorders, phobias, PTSD, and OCD.
Cognitive Processing Therapy
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy designed to help individuals who have experienced trauma. It focuses on identifying and challenging unhelpful beliefs and thoughts related to the traumatic event. Through structured sessions, clients learn to reframe their thoughts to reduce the emotional impact of the trauma, improve their mood, and change maladaptive behaviors. CPT is commonly used to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and aims to help individuals develop a healthier, more balanced perspective on their experiences.
