What is CBT?
The main psychological treatment approach at the Dulwich Psychology Clinic is CBT - which you will likely have heard about. CBT stands for Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. It is a practical and relatively short-term form of psychological therapy, that tackles the thinking, emotions and behaviour that cause and maintain our mental health problems. In short:
-
how you think influences how you feel and what you do
-
how you feel influences how you think and what you do
-
what you do influences how you feel and what you think
-
how you feel, think and what you do is linked you bodily sensations (e.g., lethargy if mood is low, or a racing heart if feeling anxious)
-
how you think, feel and what you do is linked to the situation you are in (e.g. giving a work presentation, receiving criticism from someone, lying in bed at night unable to go asleep...)
-
CBT helps us to understand the relationships between each of these areas and teaches us ways to change each area to improve our lives in meaningful ways
