Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Our thought-patterns are so habitual that we hardly notice them, and that is efficient for daily living. During your first cognitive therapy sessions, you will practice noticing and evaluating your thoughts - the running mental commentary that influences your behavior and emotions. Very rapidly, you will become more aware of deeper, underlying beliefs that shape the individual thoughts.
CBT is collaborative, problem-focused, and can produce rapid symptom relief and a sense of accomplishment. It can be used for a broad range of problems: all types of anxiety, phobias, compulsions, depression, communication problems, and more.
Because a lifetime of learning is expressed in day-to-day thoughts and behaviors, working with current issues is not a superficial approach. It can bring lasting changes.
While some people will be content to have reached an initial goal, such as overcoming one type of social anxiety, others will stay to work on other issues, or to work in a more exploratory fashion.
People suffering from anxiety, headache, tinnitus, lower back pain, or insomnia may also benefit from relaxation training with biofeedback.
