WHAT IS CBT?
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a type of talk therapy that focuses on identifying inaccurate or negative thinking, viewing difficult situations more clearly, and responding to those situations more effectively. CBT can be administered individually or in a group setting; in some cases, it may be combined with another form of treatment (for example, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy – DBT, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction – MBSR, medication, etc.).
