What is CBT?
CBT is a therapeutic approach that focuses on challenging and changing cognitive distortions such as thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes and their associated behaviors to improve emotional regulation and develop personal coping strategies that target solving current problems.
In short, it’s a form of therapy that gives you practical strategies to really help you think and feel better.

The best way to improve your mental health
CBT outperforms almost every other treatment for anxiety disorders. Even better than medication due its low relapse rates. Furthermore, CBT treatments are usually of shorter duration, and the results are more enduring than those of other treatment methods.
"Just a few sessions of CBT can be very helpful in treating anxiety and depression. CBT’s simple yet powerful changes to the way we think and act can have profound impacts on our health
and well-being."
