Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) utilises problem-solving skills to help clients better understand their behaviour and the motivation behind it and how to implement coping strategies to address difficult situations. The process helps them to increase their confidence in their responses to others. Some therapies add another component of CBT in treating certain conditions which are helping clients to change their behavioural patterns. Behavioural strategies may assist individuals in how to face their fears rather than avoid them, use role-playing in anticipation of their interactions with others, and learn to relax their bodies and calm their minds.
Emotional challenges often accompany various mental illnesses and life’s challenges as well. CBT is shown to help individuals improve their ability to manage their emotions because it helps them learn new techniques for how to cope with stressful situations. Therapy sessions can help people improve their relationships and communication, cope with physical illnesses, manage chronic physical symptoms, overcome emotional trauma, and prevent a relapse of mental illness. Consider that everyone is an individual and they all heal within their own timeframes. The length of time for your therapy will depend, in part, on how quickly you make progress. CBT often works best when you have strong support from family members and friends which can also have a bearing on the length of your treatment.
I am a qualified Cognitive Behavioural Therapist with a background in education. Over the years, I have endeavoured to keep myself fit, both physically and mentally, to be the most effective, daughter, mother, and teacher, whilst juggling the trials and tribulations of life. I believe that fitness is about mental wellbeing and future-proofing your physical health. It is not about the numbers on the scales or the size of your clothes; it is achieving your personal bests and your own unique life journey. What I have found is that balance is the key word. Eating well, keeping active and managing your thoughts and emotions are essential, along with taking time for yourself to be the best version of you.
