What is cognitive behavior therapy?
Cognitive behavioral therapy is a form of therapy based on empirical psychology, the effectiveness of which has been proven very well in a large number of studies covering the entire range of mental disorders. The experience and behavior of a person is significantly influenced by learning experiences in the course of life. Mental illness can develop when the learned patterns are problematic or inappropriate in the current context. The result is often a high level of suffering with feelings of powerlessness.
With this knowledge in mind, we will first help you to recognize how your problems started and why they persist, even though you may have already tried different solutions. From this we develop coping and change strategies together. Our knowledge of the development and maintenance of mental disorders as well as effective methods of change are significantly incorporated here. In therapy, new ways of thinking and behaving should be developed and tried out. The aim is to permanently integrate appropriate experience and behavior patterns into everyday life. You will become an expert on the disorder and the correct therapeutic measures. Accordingly, in the course of the therapy we take ourselves more and more back until after the therapy has ended we only have contact with each other at long intervals in order to be able to ensure the success of the therapy in the long term.
