Commonly Asked Questions and Answers
What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)?
It's normal to face challenges in life and seeking extra support through therapy is a responsible step towards change. Therapy offers long-lasting benefits by providing tools to avoid triggers, change damaging patterns, and overcome difficulties.
If you are struggling in any of the following areas, you may benefit from therapy:
Medication alone cannot replace therapy for addressing mental and emotional problems. While medication can help alleviate symptoms, therapy tackles the underlying causes and behavior patterns that hinder progress. An integrative approach combining both medication and therapy, tailored in consultation with a medical doctor, offers the most effective long-term solution for sustainable growth and well-being.
Therapy sessions are tailored to each individual's goals, typically lasting around 55 minutes and often scheduled as a series. They can be short-term for specific issues or longer-term for complex problems and personal growth. Outside of sessions, therapists may assign tasks like reading or behavior tracking. The effectiveness of therapy depends on active participation and applying what is learned in everyday life. Therapists offer new perspectives and solutions, but success relies on the individual's commitment to self-change and increased awareness.
