What is CBT?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a supportive, collaborative approach that explores the connection between our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sometimes when we are under stress or going through difficult experiences, our minds can fall into patterns of worry, self-criticism, fear, or hopelessness.
CBT helps individuals slow down and become more aware of those patterns while learning healthier and more compassionate ways to respond to them. Rather than focusing only on the past, CBT emphasizes present-day challenges and practical strategies that can help improve daily life and emotional well-being.
