Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in Michigan

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT is a problem-focused therapeutic approach that helps people look at beliefs, thoughts and feelings with curiosity. CBT therapy helps clients challenge distorted thoughts and change negative patterns of behavior.

CBT therapy is grounded in the belief that it is a person’s perception of events, rather than the events themselves, that determine how an individual will feel and act in response.

Most people with behavioral and emotional challenges tend to reap the benefits of CBT therapy. If any of the above issues resonate with you, I encourage you to try cognitive behavioral therapy.

CBT therapy gives you the skills needed to reframe the distorted thoughts that directly influence your emotions and behaviors. This therapeutic process is referred to as cognitive reconstructing and occurs by utilizing different CBT techniques.

Some CBT therapeutic techniques are:

Identification of distorted thoughts and destructive behaviors
Understanding the link between feelings, thoughts and behaviors
Journalling
Challenging concrete beliefs
Relaxation
Meditation
Mindfulness
Social, physical and thinking exercises

Cognitive behavioral therapy is much more than sitting and talking about whatever comes to mind. CBT therapy sessions are structured to ensure that the therapist and the client are focused on the different goals of each session, which in turn ensures that each and every session is productive.
