CBT is beneficial for both children and adults alike, helping you identify unhelpful thoughts, behaviors, and emotions and learn how to challenge them. This gives you more control over your life while breaking any patterns of negativity that have been plaguing you for some time.
Another essential aspect of CBT is relapse prevention and recognizing triggers for relapse. This can be accomplished by assessing your reaction to certain events and practicing different responses. Relapse prevention and identification are often essential elements in therapy and often provide the key to lasting change.
