This technique helps affect tangible change. Cognitive behavioral therapy is based on the idea that our own internal thought process creates our feelings and beliefs, not external sources, such as people or events. We can change the way we think or act even if the situations we are in don’t or can’t change. This is a very powerful concept, especially for people dealing with trauma and grief issues.
Our clinicians will help you become aware of negative thinking and show you how certain thought processes aren’t accurate. It can be a very effective technique to help you learn to better manage your stressful life situations.
Cognitive behavioral therapy involves “homework” assignments and tasks that you complete at home, as well as in office activities. Both assignments are an important part of cognitive behavioral therapy and help you better understand negative patterns, and develop more positive coping skills.
