Think Good

Cognitive behavioural therapy helps you better understand negative thoughts and develop strategies to overcome them.

- 

Everyone has bad thoughts at times. Often they are not a problem, but if negative thinking becomes more regular, making you constantly feel stressed or angry, you may need to alter your thought patterns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) can help.

The goal of CBT is to help you increase awareness of your thought and behaviour and learn how to change your reactions to stressful situations.

How CBT Works

CBT can help people deal with negative thinking that arises from many common psychological issues, such as anxiety, depression, fear, compulsive disorders, and phobias.

People face many crises as they age that can trigger these problems and thus stir up negative thoughts – from the death of a friend or spouse to drastic changes in health, like being diagnosed with an ailment. Left alone, constant negative thinking can undercut many healthy behaviours and lead to social isolation and poor self-care.
