COGNITIVE BEHAVIOURAL
THERAPY (CBT) NEWCASTLE

COGNITIVE BEHAVIOURAL THERAPY

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT is a type of talking therapy which stems from the belief that the way you think about situations affects how you feel and act towards them. Three main elements: cognition (thinking), feeling (emotion) and action (behaviour) interacting together form the basis of this therapy.

CBT aims to make you aware of your thoughts and thought patterns. Whereas other treatments might focus on dealing with the past events, CBT helps unravel how your day-to-day thoughts affect how you feel and act.

CBT focuses on identifying troublesome patterns of thinking, to subsequently rectify the feelings and behaviour of an individual. For instance, if you perceive a situation negatively, you might feel and behave similarly towards it. CBT helps identify these patterns of thinking to impact and improve how you feel and behave by teaching you various coping techniques.

WHAT IS COGNITIVE BEHAVIOURAL THERAPY (CBT)?

Cognitive behavioural therapy or “CBT” is based on the idea that how we think (cognition), how we feel (emotion), and how we act (behaviour) all interact together. It can make sense of overwhelming problems in a positive way by breaking them down into smaller parts.

Having CBT as part of talking therapy can help you to identifying cycles of maladaptive behaviours and negative thought patterns. In other words you can find out what is preventing you from changing your behaviour and driving negative thoughts.

The primary purpose of CBT is to break the cycle of unhelpful habits and behavioural patterns to identify what sorts of negative thoughts might be contributing to the problems a person is experiencing. CBT deals with the here and now and looks at practical ways to improve your mental health, it can help to address negative thinking and alter a person’s behaviour for the better. 

By becoming aware of patterns of thinking and behaving and identifying alternatives, distress and anxiety levels can be reduced and mood levels enhanced. The skills learnt in CBT can be applied to your daily life and many other situations outside of therapy, and lead to lifelong change.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

CBT as form of therapy is most effective in making you accept and understand that you can change things in your life just by changing your thoughts. This is vital because it enables you to understand that altering your own thought process has the power to affect positive change.

CBT enables you to learn techniques that can further help you to cope with stressful life situations and manage your emotions optimally. It is also beneficial for resolving relationship conflicts and teaching you better ways to communicate.

CBT is beneficial for many mental health problem diagnosis such as anxiety, depression, panic disorder, OCD, PTSD and sleep problems.
