Document Summary

Cognitive behaviour therapy (cbt) is an effective treatment approach for a range of mental and emotional health issues including anxiety and depression. Cbt aims to help a person identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts and to learn practical self-help strategies. These strategies are designed to bring about positive and immediate changes in the person"s quality of life. It is based on the understanding that thinking negatively is a habit that, like any other habit, can be broken. Everyone experiences anxiety sometimes, due to specific things or circumstances. It serves as a means of protection and can increase our performance in stressful situations. For example, the rush of anxiety that often occurs prior to a job interview or a big race often can enhance our performance. But for some people the feeling of anxiety is more general, meaning that you feel constantly on alert or fearful no matter what activity you are doing.
