CBT is a therapeutic approach based on the theory that our thoughts, feelings, and
behaviors are all connected. The cognitive triangle is a helpful visual to understand
how the way we think influences the way we feel and how we act, and vice versa.
This means that you can change the
way you think and the way you
behave in order to feel better! Cognitive behavioral therapists will help you understand your automatic thoughts and if they fall into the category of any cognitive distortions, meaning that your assumptions are not correct. The goal of CBT is for you to catch these distortions yourself, and start to change the way you think which gives you the power to change the way you feel. CBT is helpful for lots of different people and problems, but especially for folks with depression and/or anxiety disorders. It is a more structured approach than other talk
therapies, and may include homework assignments for you to complete between sessions.
