work with you to examine your thoughts sensations and behaviors and the different ways they intersect and actually what they’re going to be wanting to do is look at how your thoughts might be contributing to hard feelings so are your ideas helping to sustain a level of anger or unhappiness or fear and are there ways that maybe you can think of situations or people or yourself differently in order to feel a little bit better so if you’re considering counseling I highly motivate you to look into dealing with a CBT therapist due to the fact that it’s an evidence-based and reliable way of handling a range of issues and concerns if you’re working with the CBT therapist you’re going to find that the work is extremely collective and it’s really a group approach to analyzing the concerns 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 research yes it’s similar to being back in school and so a great
