Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a type of talk therapy that can help people of all ages, including younger children and teens. CBT focuses on how thoughts and emotions affect behavior. Your child doesn’t need to have a diagnosed mental health condition to benefit from CBT.
Therapy usually involves an agreed upon goal and a set number of sessions. The therapist will help your child learn to replace negative thought patterns with more productive ones. Through role-playing and other methods, your child can practice alternate ways of handling stressful situations.
CBT can help children understand how thoughts and emotions affect behavior and how changing their thoughts and emotions can change this behavior and the way they feel.
CBT is a safe, effective therapy that can help kids with a wide range of conditions and concerns.
