CBT

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)

CBT has been a standard in behaviour change for many decades. It’s two contributors of Cognitive Therapy and Behaviour Therapy once existed in opposition to each other but were conveniently rolled into one.

The Cognitive Therapy focuses on the logical understanding and discussion of values and behaviour to examine whether or not a particular behaviour is serving the individual well.

The Behavioural Therapy component focuses on the learning principle of how an environmental cue results in a behaviour (due to an immenent reward or punisher) and the subsequent thoughts and feelings.
