Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a short-term, goal-oriented method proven by decades of clinical research to help people with their anxiety.
The “Cognitive” in CBT refers to your thoughts. CBT helps you reshape your negative thinking into more balanced thinking by helping you identify and challenge your automatic negative thoughts.
The “Behavioural” in CBT refers to how you are behaving, or how you choose to react to certain situations. CBT helps you gain the confidence you need to approach situations that make you anxious or that you typically avoid.
At Tranquility, we believe in using evidence-based approaches to help our clients with their anxiety.
CBT has withstood decades of rigorous scientific research, and the studies show that it is one of the most effective treatments for anxiety. It is also an effective treatment for other problems such as: depression, chronic pain, eating disorders, anger issues, addiction and low self-esteem.
Lastly, CBT has shown to be just as effective online as person-to-person CBT (link).
