Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Sarnia, ON
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is what you may think of as traditional talk therapy. It’s a therapeutic approach that supports people in changing their mindset and behaviours by adjusting thought patterns.
If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or are looking to improve your overall mental health, our team of experienced counsellors can work with you to challenge your limiting beliefs and overcome negative thought patterns.
What is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy?
CBT is an evidence-based therapy method that helps you identify and explore how your thoughts, feelings and behaviours are all connected. Through talk therapy, you and your counsellor will identify and analyze unhealthy or unhelpful patterns. Once you’ve gained a better understanding of how your thinking or behaviours may be causing you harm, you’ll work through strategies and skills to build more positive responses.
CBT works on the belief that how we interpret an event is more impactful than the event itself. We can’t change the fact that a negative or traumatic event occurred, but by altering how we think about the event, we can change our perception into something less harmful.
When we break down these negative events with the support of a counsellor and feel safe to look at them from all angles, we can reinterpret them and start to build a new system of beliefs around them. This takes away the power of the negative event and gives you back control of your thoughts and behaviours.
At Great Lakes Neurofeedback & Counselling, we believe healing happens through community and connection. By examining your limited or negative beliefs in a non-judgmental, safe space, you can develop the tools and resources to thrive.
