deal with you to analyze your ideas sensations and behaviors and the various methods they converge and truly what they’re going to be seeking to do is take a look at how your ideas might be adding to tough emotions so are your ideas helping to sustain a level of anger or sadness or worry and exist ways that maybe you can think about situations or individuals or yourself in a different way in order to feel a bit much better so if you’re considering counseling I highly motivate you to check out working with a CBT therapist due to the fact that it’s a efficient and evidence-based method of handling a variety of issues and problems if you’re dealing with the CBT therapist you’re going to discover that the work is really collective and it’s actually a group technique to taking a look at the problems that you fight with the other thing that people have maybe a bit of difficulty getting used to or accepting with CBT treatment is that you will get homework yes it’s similar to being back in school therefore an excellent
