Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive behavioral therapy or CBT is a type of talk-therapy. Its main focuses are the relationship between behaviors, feelings, and thoughts. After a series of sessions, the therapist will help you target existing issues and symptoms. The therapy can be done in a group or individual format. During this procedure, you will learn how to find out negative patterns or distortions in your feelings and thoughts associated with the traumatic event. The goal is to help you regain hope, reduce avoidance or escape behaviors, as well as have a better sense of control in your behaviors and thoughts. [8]
