      Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Depression, Anxiety, Phobias and Panic Attacks - James David Rockefeller

      INTRODUCTION

      CBT is an acronym for cognitive behavioral therapy, which is an evidence-based psychological intervention and the most commonly used practice for improving mental health. CBT uses empirical research, focusing on the development of person’s coping skills with the aim of solving current problems and changing harmful and unhelpful cognitive behaviors and help with regulating emotions. At its origin, the use of cognitive behavioral therapy was restricted to the treatment of depression, but as the years went by, the therapy was adapted to treat a wider range of mental health issues.
