COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a scientifically tested and verified psychotherapeutic method with a practical hands-on approach to problem-solving and overcoming common emotional problems. Our thinking and the emotions attached to it, create the problems we are experiencing. The goal in CBT is to firstly identify your problem, change patterns of thinking which change the attitude and subsequently the behaviors that are behind people’s difficulties. When these changes occur it ultimately changes the way they feel. Specific goals are set which incorporate adopting more helpful thoughts, attitudes and beliefs. CBT can help with a wide range of issues in a person’s life. The focus is on the thoughts, images, beliefs and attitudes that are held (a person’s cognitive processes) and how these processes are affecting the way a person behaves, as a way of dealing with emotional problems.
Cognitive behavioral therapy Dubai can be thought of as a combination of psychotherapy and behavioral therapy. Psychotherapy emphasizes the importance of the personal meaning we place on things and how thinking patterns begin in childhood.
