How does CBT Work?
CBT is structured, goal-oriented, and typically short-term. During sessions, clients learn to recognize negative or distorted thinking and develop strategies to replace them with more realistic and constructive thoughts? Therapists guide clients through mindfulness based exercises and exposure based therapy to help break anxiety cycles.
