Cognitive behavior therapy focuses on identifying, understanding, and changing your thought and behavior patterns. You can often begin seeing substantial results in as little as three to four months of treatment. Your therapist will teach you valuable skills that you can use throughout your life.
CBT is an active process that includes homework assignments and practice sessions. Within a short period of time you will gain a greater sense of confidence and self-control. You’ll learn skills during therapy sessions, and they must be practiced repeatedly to see improvement. Anxiety symptoms are minimized, and you’ll find yourself approaching situations in a new, more effective manner.
