Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapy. It is based on the idea that there is an interaction between how we think (cognition), feel (emotion/physical sensations) and act (behaviour).
CBT can be helpful in treating many mental disorders, including:
- depression
- anxiety disorders: panic, agoraphobia, social anxiety, generalized anxiety, illness anxiety, specific phobias
- obsessive compulsive spectrum disorders: obsessive compulsive disorder, habit disorders, tics
- trauma and stressor related disorders
- sleep disorders
- schizophrenia spectrum disorders and bipolar disorders, in combination with medication
