CBT works by changing people's attitudes and their behavior by focusing on the thoughts, images, beliefs and attitudes that are held (a person's cognitive processes) and how these processes relate to the way a person behaves, as a way of dealing with emotional problems.
Common CBT interventions include:
learning how to manage stress and anxiety (e.g., learning relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, coping self-talk such as "I've done this before, just take deep breaths," and distraction) identifying situations that are often avoided and gradually approaching feared situations.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a talking therapy that can help you manage your problems by changing the way you think and behave. It's most commonly used to treat anxiety and depression, but can be useful for other mental and physical health problems.
