Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in West Palm Beach, FL

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapy that helps individuals identify the negative thinking patterns and beliefs that are having adverse effects on their lives. CBT is based on the idea that our thoughts affect our feelings and our feelings affect our behavior.

CBT focuses on helping clients identify healthy coping skills and develop positive belief systems that can be used in everyday life.

Identifying Negative Thoughts and Beliefs

Often, trauma symptoms don’t occur only due to the events we experience, but also, due to the event deeply affecting the beliefs that we hold about ourselves, others, and the world.

For instance, consider two individuals involved in the same car accident:

• Person A can continue driving and return to the neighborhood where the accident occurred.
• Person B feels anxious driving and avoids the area of the accident altogether.

The difference in their reactions is not due to the accident’s severity, as they were involved in the same accident. Rather, person B is experiencing negative emotional responses such as anxiety and avoidance due to internalizing negative beliefs such as “I am unsafe in the car” or “driving on that street may cause me to get into an accident” as a result of the event.

It’s important to remember that everyone experiences difficult situations differently, and there is no one-size-fits-all response. Our therapists are motivated to help you cope with your symptoms and heal your specific trauma.
