Who Could Be Helped with CBT?
CBT can be used to treat a wide variety of those who suffer from numerous mental illnesses. These mental illnesses can include:
- Depression
- Phobias
- Sexual issues
- Mood swings
- Anger management issues
- Anxiety
- Eating disorder
- Body disorders
So if you are someone who regularly has a negative projection or perception of yourself, cognitive behavioral therapy might be for you. It can help treat anyone who becomes trapped in irrational assumptions. These are assumptions that end up trapping you in continuous cycles of anxiety that create self-doubt.
How CBT Works
CBT is short term, and goal oriented. Most emotions problems can be fixed within five to ten months. It combines both behavioral therapies along with psychotherapy. The process isn’t only used to treat one problem you might be having. CBT gives you the method to apply the principles to whatever you may need in order to find a solution. CBT will encourage you to challenge irrational assumptions in your life and change negative patterns in your life for the better.
