Understanding Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

CBT operates on the premise that psychological problems often stem from faulty thought patterns. These learned thinking habits can become stumbling blocks when dealing with life’s challenges. When stress or trauma strikes, these patterns take center stage, convincing you that there’s no way out.

CBT’s solution is to tackle these unhelpful thought processes head-on. Rather than dwelling on the past, we focus on equipping you with tools to conquer immediate obstacles, whether it’s leaving your comfort zone or meeting new people.
