Cognitive behavior therapy for anxiety, addiction and depression : everything you need to know about treating depression, social anxiety, addictions, trauma, OCD, irrational phobias, health, social negative thinking, intrusive thoughts / by Joyce, William E.;
At least one in five adults in the US experiences some form of mental illness every year--a clear indication that the number of Americans who are battling mental illnesses is on an upward trajectory. This reality has called upon various methods of treatment, but none seems as effective as cognitive behavioral therapy. CBT is a method of treatment that embraces the best aspects of both talk therapy and behavioral therapy. It has been exceedingly successful because it offers a lot of flexibility and the results are long-lasting--a stark contrast to most other forms of treatments such as medication, which can be rigid, expensive, and not to mention, cyclical. According to CBT practitioners, behaviors, thoughts, and feelings are intertwined. A person's feelings are informed by their perceptions, which might be accurate or distorted. Hence, CBT steps in to expose cognitive distortions and promote positive thoughts, thus effectively restoring mental health.What is cognitive behavioral therapy? -- How cognitive behavioral therapy helps treat depression -- How cognitive behavioral therapy helps treat generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, and panic disorder -- How cognitive behavioral therapy helps treat OCD -- How cognitive behavioral therapy helps treat PTSD -- How cognitive behavioral therapy helps treat addiction.
