Psychotherapy (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy CBT)
Daysprings Psychiatry & Wellness offers psychotherapy in the form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address the range of conditions that we treat.
We work collaboratively with our clients during psychological evaluation to identify their distorted ways of thinking that affect them emotionally and their behavior. Our aim is for our clients to be aware of their behavioral and thinking patterns. Up to the creation of the client’s treatment or intervention plan, we let our clients identify their personal and treatment goals to make them involved in their therapy.
Our providers may give our clients homework to challenge and encourage change in our clients.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT is a short-term, problem-focused form of behavioral treatment that helps people see the difference between beliefs, thoughts, and feelings, and free them from unhelpful patterns of behavior.
CBT is grounded in the belief that it is a person’s perception of events – rather than the events themselves – that determines how he or she will feel and act in response.
CBT can help with:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Panic attacks
- Phobias
- Obsessive compulsive disorders (OCD)
- Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Substance dependency
- Persistent pain
- Disordered eating
- Sexual issues
- Anger management issues
Most people with clearly defined behavioral and emotional concerns tend to reap the benefits of CBT. If any of the above issues resonate with you, I encourage you to try cognitive behavioral therapy.
With CBT, you’ll be able to adjust the thoughts that directly influence your emotions and behavior. This adjustment process is referred to as cognitive reconstructing, which happens through different CBT techniques.
Some CBT techniques are:
- Journalling
- Challenging beliefs
- Relaxation
- Meditation
- Mindfulness
- Social, physical and thinking exercises
Cognitive behavioral therapy is much more than sitting and talking about whatever comes to mind during a session. CBT sessions are structured to ensure that the therapist and the person in treatment are focused on the different goals of each session, which in turn ensures that each and every session is productive.
