Cognitive-behavioral therapy, or CBT, is a short-term counseling strategy offered in addiction rehab facilities such as Pinnacle Recovery Center and many others that may help individuals change their cognitive patterns and discover new ways to behave.
It is a problem-specific, goal-oriented strategy that requires the individual’s active participation to be successful. It focuses on their current problems, ideas, and actions. CBT is based on the idea that how we think about and interpret life events has an impact on how we act and, ultimately, how we feel. It has been found in studies to be beneficial in a variety of scenarios.
CBT may assist individuals in reducing stress, coping with difficult relationships, dealing with loss, and dealing with a variety of other typical life issues.
