What is CBT?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, time-limited form of psychotherapy that helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviours. It is based on the idea that thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected, and that changing negative thinking can lead to changes in feelings and behaviour. CBT is commonly used to treat conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and more. It typically involves setting goals, learning coping strategies, and practicing new skills both in and out of sessions.
What is EMDR?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy approach designed to help individuals process and heal from traumatic memories and distressing experiences. It involves recalling traumatic events while engaging in bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements, sounds, or taps. This process is believed to help the brain reprocess the memory, reducing its emotional intensity and allowing for more adaptive thinking. EMDR is especially effective for treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
