CBT is an evidence-based therapeutic approach that addresses the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. The core belief in CBT is that psychological problems stem from unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior, which are learned over time. By working through these patterns, CBT helps you develop more constructive ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving. This form of therapy is typically short-term and goal-oriented, aimed at providing you with practical tools to manage your emotions and improve your overall well-being in both the short and long term.
