What to Expect from Our CBT Therapy Sessions
Embarking on a journey with our expert CBT therapists is a step toward empowerment and deeper self-understanding. Here’s a glimpse of what you can expect during your sessions:
Duration
Therapy typically spans between 5 to 20 sessions, tailored to your unique needs and pace of progress. Each session builds on the last, creating a steady path toward meaningful change.
Collaborative Problem-Solving
You and your therapist will work together to break down challenges into smaller, manageable parts. This approach helps you understand how certain thought patterns affect your emotions and influence your relationships.
Analysis and Reflection
Together, we’ll examine these areas to determine whether they’re rooted in reality or shaped by unrealistic expectations. This process fosters insight into how your thoughts impact your behavior and interactions.
