Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy refers to a range of treatments that can help with mental health problems, emotional challenges, and psychiatric disorders.
It aims to enable patients, or clients, to understand their feelings, and what makes them feel positive, anxious, or depressed. This can equip them to cope with difficult situations in a more adaptive way.
There are a number of styles and approaches in psychotherapy one of them is the behavior therapy approach.
Cognitive Therapy
Cognitive therapy starts with the idea that what we think shapes how we feel. Changing these beliefs can change a person’s view of events, and their emotional state. Cognitive therapy looks at current thinking and communication patterns, rather than the past. The therapist works with the client to confront and challenge inappropriate thoughts by encouraging different ways of viewing a situation.
Behavior Therapy
Behavioral therapy helps clients to understand how changes in behavior can lead to changes in how they feel. It focuses on increasing the person’s engagement in positive or socially reinforcing activities. The goal is for desirable behavior responses to replace undesirable ones.
