Explanation:
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a talking therapy that can help you manage your problems by changing the way you think and behave.
CBT cannot remove your problems, but can help you manage them in a more positive way. It encourages you to examine how your actions can affect how you think and feel.
Talking and changing your behaviour can change how you think (cognitive) and what you do (behaviour). This can make you feel better about life.
CBT can help you manage problems, such as anxiety and depression and make them less likely to have a negative impact on your life.
There is always a risk that bad feelings you associate with your problem will return, but with your CBT skills it should be easier for you to control them.
