What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is based on the assumption that psychological issues are the result of both conscious and unconscious learning processes. At the beginning of the treatment, the therapist and the patient work together to identify which factors from the patient's life history and current situation have contributed to the development and maintenance of their psychological symptoms and are still influencing them. Based on this understanding, therapy goals and a treatment plan are collaboratively established.

In CBT, the patient is encouraged and guided to actively change their behavior, thoughts, and emotions. Existing strengths and abilities are identified and utilized to support the change process.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is recognized as a scientifically and legally accepted psychotherapeutic method.
