What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, evidence-based approach to mental health that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns that influence behavior and emotions. At Healing HAM, LLC, we use CBT to help clients understand the link between their thoughts, feelings, and actions. This structured and goal-oriented therapy is effective for addressing a wide range of mental health issues by promoting healthier thinking and coping strategies.
The core idea behind CBT is that our thoughts affect our feelings, and our feelings drive our actions. When someone experiences persistent negative thoughts, it can lead to harmful emotions and behaviors. Through CBT, clients learn to recognize these unhelpful thinking patterns and reframe them in a more balanced and realistic way. This shift in perspective can lead to significant changes in how clients feel and behave.
CBT sessions are structured, focusing on specific goals that are tailored to each individual’s needs. Clients work closely with the therapist to identify negative thought patterns, understand their triggers, and develop strategies to manage them effectively. Whether it’s learning new coping skills or practicing mindfulness techniques, CBT equips clients with the tools to handle life’s challenges with confidence.
