“I can never thank you enough, when I left I wanted to throw my arm around you and give you the biggest hug.”
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, often referred to as CBT, considers the interaction between thoughts, behaviour, mood and our bodies, including physical sensations. As you may be aware already, this can feel very complex, and leave us feeling trapped and out of control.
CBT can help you to understand the patterns we can get into as people, change negative patterns and therefore improve the way you feel.
CBT can help you by considering overwhelming problems and finding practical ways to help you improve how you are feeling on a daily basis.
CBT can help you to make changes in how you function in daily situations with things such as our friends, families, work, life goals etc.
CBT focusses on your current problems, rather than focussing on issues with your past. It is important to have a strong understanding of you and all that you are, and issues from your past may be relevant and helpful to consider.
“It’s not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.”
