CBT is a structured, goal-oriented therapy that helps you identify and change unhelpful thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
It’s based on the idea that:

•  Thoughts affect feelings 
• Feelings affect behaviors
• Behaviors reinforce thoughts

By changing one part of this cycle—usually thoughts or behaviors—you can improve your emotional well-being.

How CBT Works

A typical CBT process includes:

• Identifying negative or distorted thoughts (“I always mess things up”)
• Challenging them with evidence
• Replacing them with more balanced thoughts
• Practicing new behaviors (like exposure, problem-solving, or communication skills)

CBT often includes homework so you practice skills between sessions.
