What does cognitive behavioural therapy involve?
Cognitive behavioural therapy is an active type of psychotherapy, whereby the client and practitioner talk, act, and work together to achieve agreed therapeutic goals. Clients can expect to work actively within each session, as well as to receive guided assignments to be completed between sessions. These between-session assignments may include behavioural exercises and/or reading.
Cognitive behavioural psychotherapy highlights that it is our beliefs, interpretations, and perceptions of life events that determine our feelings, moods, and ultimately, our actions.
Therefore, a universal goal of cognitive behavioural therapy is to help people identify, understand, and modify their belief systems and also their self-defeating behaviours in order to function more effectively and happily.
