Struggling with depression? It might be time to add Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to your mental well-being toolbox.
What is CBT?
This well-studied depression therapy is based on the simple principle that a person’s thoughts, emotions, and behaviors all influence one another.
This is commonly referred to as the cognitive triangle and provides therapists + their clients with three distinct intervention points in helping people overcome all manner of mental health conditions.
For example, a person experiencing major depressive disorder may have repeated negative thoughts about themselves. These thoughts will influence their emotions, making them feel sad or hopeless. These emotions will, in turn, affect their behaviors — making them avoid others, skip work, or lose the motivation for important activities.
How can I get started?
