CBT helps you to recognise false or harmful thoughts so you can view difficult circumstances more clearly and react to them more successfully.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a commonly used talk therapy (psychotherapy). You can work in a structured manner with a mental health counsellor (psychotherapist ), attending a limited number of sessions. CBT assists you in becoming aware of incorrect or negative thinking so that you can view difficult situations more clearly and respond to them more effectively. Treatment for mental health conditions like depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and eating disorders can benefit greatly from using CBT or combination with other therapies. However, not everyone who benefits from CBT has a mental health issue. Anyone can learn how to use CBT to handle challenging life circumstances.
