What is CBT?
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a talking therapy that is commonly used to treat anxiety and depression, but it can also be used to treat other mental and physical problems.
It is based on the concept that negative thoughts can trap you in a cycle, with its aim to break down problems to smaller parts to help you deal with overwhelming problems in a more positive way.
During this course, you will discover the different cognitive techniques used to treat specific emotional issues before understanding how to live a mindful life using specific techniques and how to convey these techniques to others.
