CBT is a type of talk therapy that can help you deal with negative emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. It can help you change the way you see yourself and the world, and cope better with stress and challenges. Cognitive behavioral therapy is used for many mental health issues, like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and more. It’s not like some therapies that focus on your past or childhood. It’s more about what’s going on right now and how you can solve your problems.
