![Jese Leos](https://codex.deedeebook.com/author/andres-carter.jpg)
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapy that helps people to understand the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. It is based on the idea that our thoughts can influence our feelings and behaviours, and that by changing our thoughts, we can change our feelings and behaviours in a positive way.

CBT is an effective treatment for a variety of mental health challenges, including:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Eating disorders
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder
- Post-traumatic stress disorder
- Substance abuse
CBT is typically conducted in a one-on-one setting with a therapist. The therapist will help the client to identify their negative thoughts and behaviours, and then work with them to develop more positive and helpful thoughts and behaviours.
CBT is a collaborative process, and the client is actively involved in their own treatment. The therapist will provide guidance and support, but the client is ultimately responsible for making changes in their own life.
CBT is a short-term therapy, and most people experience significant improvement within a few months.
Benefits of CBT for Adolescents and Young Adults
CBT can be particularly beneficial for adolescents and young adults because it can help them to:
- Improve their self-esteem
- Develop healthier coping mechanisms
- Make better decisions
- Manage their emotions
- Build stronger relationships
CBT can also help adolescents and young adults to learn how to deal with the specific challenges they face, such as:
- Pressure from peers
- Academic stress
- Relationship problems
- Body image issues
- Substance abuse
If you are an adolescent or young adult who is struggling with a mental health challenge, CBT may be a helpful treatment option for you.
To learn more about CBT and how it can help you, talk to your doctor or mental health professional.
How CBT Works
CBT is based on the idea that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours are all interconnected. When we have negative thoughts, we tend to feel negative emotions and engage in negative behaviours. Conversely, when we have positive thoughts, we tend to feel positive emotions and engage in positive behaviours.
CBT works by helping people to identify their negative thoughts and behaviours, and then replace them with more positive and helpful ones. This process can be challenging, but it can lead to significant improvements in mental health and well-being.
CBT typically involves several different components, including:
- Cognitive restructuring: This involves identifying and challenging negative thoughts and replacing them with more positive and helpful ones.
- Behavioural activation: This involves increasing engagement in activities that are enjoyable and rewarding.
- Exposure therapy: This involves gradually exposing oneself to feared or avoided situations in order to reduce anxiety.
- Problem-solving: This involves learning how to solve problems in a more effective way.
