How does cognitive behavioural therapy work?

CBT has been around for many years. It’s the basis of other therapies, such as acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, and dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT). If you are thinking negatively about yourself or a situation and that is causing you problems, CBT might be able to help.

In CBT, you work with a therapist to recognise the patterns of thinking (cognition) and behaviour that cause your problems.

First, you will work with your therapist to understand what are the most troubling problems for you. Then, you work out what your thoughts, emotions and beliefs are about these situations. You will identify which of these thoughts, emotions and beliefs are negative or inaccurate. And then, working with your therapist, you find ways to challenge them.

You might ask yourself: is that true? Or you might ask yourself: so what?

You then also identify what behaviours are based on these negative beliefs that you could change. Then, you can find ways to think and act that are less harmful to you.
