deal with you to examine your ideas sensations and behaviors and the different ways they intersect and really what they’re going to be looking to do is take a look at how your thoughts might be adding to tough feelings so are your thoughts assisting to sustain a level of anger or unhappiness or worry and exist manner ins which perhaps you can think about situations or individuals or yourself differently in order to feel a bit much better so if you’re considering counseling I strongly encourage you to look into dealing with a CBT therapist due to the fact that it’s an evidence-based and reliable method of handling a variety of issues and problems if you’re dealing with the CBT therapist you’re going to find that the work is really collective and it’s actually a group method to analyzing the issues that you battle with the other thing that people have maybe a little bit of trouble getting utilized to or accepting with CBT treatment is that you will get homework yes it’s much like being back in school and so a good
