Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Tools that Can Change Your Life

Since the early 1920s, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) has been researched and practiced as an effective type of psychotherapy for those struggling with drug or alcohol addiction. This type of talk therapy has been looked at as the umbrella over dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), among others. The process—guided by a trained therapist—helps you reframe negative thoughts and change how you respond to challenges, particularly if you need to work through trauma. When used in conjunction with other treatment methods, CBT is an extremely helpful tool that can serve you for your entire life.

What to Expect from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

During your first cognitive behavioral therapy session, your therapist will discuss your goals for treatment and how long treatment should last. CBT takes place in individual, family and group therapy settings. Along with learning more about your condition, you will understand and practice a variety of coping, stress management and relaxation strategies to use outside of the therapy sessions. This will help you to become more aware of your negative or inaccurate thought patterns so that you are able to correct them.

Unlike other forms of treatment, CBT is more of a partnership. You’ll want to be an active participant in the therapy to get the best results. While it can take many sessions to see results, you will be able to use the strategies of CBT immediately and begin to see things through a new perspective.
