Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on how an individual's thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes can affect their emotions and behavior. This booklet is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of CBT and its principles, as well as practical tools and technique...
CBT focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns, known
as cognitive distortions, such as black-and-white thinking, overgeneralization, and catastrophizing.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapy that focuses on the
relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
CBT has been found to be effective in treating a wide range of mental health conditions, such as
depression, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and obsessive-
compulsive disorder (OCD).
The goal of CBT is to help individuals identify and change negative patterns of thought
and behavior in order to improve their emotional well-being.
CBT is based on the idea that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are
interconnected, and that negative thoughts can lead
to negative emotions and behaviors.
CBT also involves learning and practicing new coping skills, such as relaxation techniques and problem-
solving strategies, to manage difficult emotions and situations.
