Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT is a form of 'talking and doing' therapy. It focuses mainly on the problems facing you at the present time. We look at the past enough to understand how your current patterns of thinking and behavior came about to start with. The doing part of CBT is challenging negative thinking styles and creating new helpful ways to both think and behavior to unwanted situations.
