During difficult times our moods can shift, sometimes going deep into feelings like depression, anxiety, or anger. Depending on the situation, it may seem like we have little or no control over how our emotions respond. Yet our thoughts and beliefs can have a powerful effect on our feelings and actions throughout the day.
CBT is about gaining greater awareness of your own thoughts, learning where they come from, and seeing their connection to your moods and behaviors. The result is more effective management of your feelings, regardless of what happens in life.
Research has shown CBT to be an effective treatment for a wide range of mental health issues.1 This type of therapy can lessen the effects of anger, depression, or anxiety. With coaching and support, I can help you learn how to make CBT work for you.
