What is CBT therapy?

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a form of talk therapy that focuses on changing negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress. CBT is based on the idea that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected, and by changing unhelpful thoughts, we can positively influence emotions and actions.
At Happy Autumn Counseling, we use CBT to help clients in Dallas and across Texas address a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, and social anxiety. The goal of CBT is to teach you practical strategies to manage your mental health challenges and develop healthier ways of thinking and behaving.

Most common symptoms addressed by CBT therapy

CBT is effective in treating a variety of mental health concerns. Some of the most common symptoms that CBT can help with include:

-Persistent negative thinking: repeating negative thoughts that lower your self-esteem or increase anxiety.

-Difficulty managing emotions: feeling overwhelmed by emotions like anger, sadness, or frustration, and not knowing how to cope with them.

-Avoidance behaviors: avoiding certain situations or activities due to fear or anxiety, which can limit your ability to engage in life fully.

-Panic attacks or severe anxiety: experiencing intense episodes of anxiety that affect your ability to function.

-Depressive thoughts: having ongoing thoughts of hopelessness, sadness, or a lack of interest in activities you once enjoyed.

How do I know if CBT therapy is right for me?

CBT therapy can be helpful if you find yourself stuck in a cycle of negative thinking, or if your thoughts and emotions are affecting your daily life. Here are a few questions to ask yourself to see if CBT might be the right choice for you:

- Do you often feel like your thoughts are spiraling out of control?

- Are you avoiding certain situations or people because of fear or anxiety?

- Are negative thoughts about yourself or others preventing you from living a fulfilling life?

If any of these sound familiar, CBT therapy might be a great option to help you develop new ways of thinking and responding to challenges.
